Build a PVC Drip Irrigation System for your Garden

Master Gardener Rick Stone takes you through the process of building a PVC drip system. He covers all you need to know to get started. In this class you will learn:

Why you should choose a PVC system over the other systems out there.
How to build your system, including cutting pipe, drilling holes, and the hardware you will need.
How to create a mainline water distribution system that will make it easy to get water to each of your garden beds
What size of PVC pipe is best for your garden.
Where and how many water holes will you need for the different types of crops.
How to attach your drip system to a rainwater collection system!
Tricks on making your system very flexible and easily reconfigured for each year in your garden.
Using a PVC drip system in raised beds.

You will learn every detail of what you need to do to get this PVC drip system up and running in your garden.

Note: PVC drip systems don’t deal well with big changes in slope in a garden. Slopes cause uneven water pressure in the pipes and you will have some areas getting too much water and others not enough. So if your garden is on a hillside or drops more than 2 or 3 inches over 50 feet you may want to consider a different watering option.
