PVC Drip System

[Tabasco]

Calling this a system is a little overblown, but it's working great.
Pretty self explanatory, but I just ran 3/4 on top of bricks, right angled up to a ball valve and quick-connect.
Then I drilled a few small holes on each side of each pipe in front of each plant...

I've thought about making something like this. Does each paired row have to have its own hose attachment for its inflow water source?

Also, do you have loss of water pressure on the farthest drip sets from the inflow?

I would need to daisy chain several rows.

[Tabasco]

So far this is all there is to it, but I can imagine adding another set with just the one inlet no problem.
The pressure equalizes and they all spray about the same, but gravity does affect it, I just leveled it all with bricks.

Thanks!

[Tabasco]

You're welcome.
The best part, other than how easy it is to water, is that it took less than an hour to construct.

P.S.
It only cost $20

[Lindsaylew82]

I've been pricing already, definitely doable! I have also been putting together (in my mind) plans for a greenhouse made with PVC. I already have a bunch of sheet plastic.

Ha! I just did a mini version yesterday!

Just wanted a way to spread bird netting.

Kids are to big to swing anymore

Hmmmmmmm.... I like it! My almost 3 year old doesn't have anything like that yet, but I like that you're reusing it!!!

Tied in with rebar at the ground?

Pretty spectacular view ya got there!

How long are each run?
What is your water pressure?
How many GPM is the water source that hooks up to this watering system?

I love anything that makes watering more effective/easier.

Very nice.

You could make a pretty sweet trellis out of that "A" frame!

[Tabasco]

Lindsaylew,

Great idea!

Trying to salvage my cuke disaster.

[Tabasco]

Lab_Man,

Each run is 8'
I just added a 4' cuke waterer...

No idea about the gpm but i can get a bucket and check, it's municipal water, neighbor says it's between 40 and 60, but we don't have a gauge.

Puts out fine along it's entire length and I only have the bib open about half way.
It's at the end of a 50' hose.

I'm going to bury a pvc pipe to it so it's neater and I don't have to rig the hose to it.

[Lindsaylew82]

Plant some MO! Just nestle some more cuke seeds on the side there closer to your trellis. I like it!!!

[Tabasco]

Lindseylew,

That's about 4' across.
How many could I fit in there?
