Easy Drip Irrigation System
Installing a drip irrigation system makes it so your plants get the water you need without you having to stand in the sweltering heat of summer every day. Master Gardner Melisa Nowag talks about all the equipment and steps to install a drip irrigation system for your garden. She talks about timers, pipes, couplings, and risers (sprinkler heads).
Melisa then puts together a simple system to water a vegetable raised bed. She starts with a main half inch pipe and shows how to connect it to a hose. Then she attaches smaller tubing that runs to an emitter (sprinkler head) for each plant.
