This drip irrigation kit has been developed for the more commercially minded farmer who wishes to irrigate an area of up to 300 Sq M planted with about two thousand vegetable seedlings.
The water reservoir is a 1000 litre plastic tank which is supported approx. 1.5 M above the prepared seed beds to give the required head. The flow is controlled by means of a ball valve and water passes to the low pressure irrigation drip tapes via a 25mm delivery hose, a filter and a series of connectors. The kit is extremely flexible as the farmer can design his garden layout according to the number of planting beds he requires to work at any one time. This kit is simple to install and affordable in price and by using it in conjunction with a suitable crop management programme it is possible to reduce water usage by up to fifty percent and increase crop yields dramatically.
