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.

- 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.
