Orchard Drip Irrigation

Step 1: Gather Information

1.How many trees do you intend to water?

2.How far away is your last tree from your water source?

This is helpful in determining how much mainline tubing you will need.

3.Are your trees and water source in a straight line?

If we are designed to water trees in straight rows that are also in-line with their water source.

So if you need to make any 90 degree turns with your mainline tubing or tee the mainline into 2 rows of trees make note as you will need to add any tees or elbows. A good place to keep track of turns and splits is on a sketch of your project area.

4.How large of tree rings do you wish to place around each tree?

1⁄4” dripline to create tree rings that are approximately 1-1/2 ft. in diameter per tree for the recommended number of trees to water per kit. For example 50 ft. of 1⁄4” drip line and will water up to 10 trees. If you plan to water 10 trees, the max diameter for each tree ring would be 1-1/2 ft. If you need larger rings then you may need to add more 1⁄4” drip line.

Step 2: Creating a sketch

We recommend creating a sketch of your project area. We have found that a sketch helps to visualize the area and ensures that you have not overlooked any detail.

Step 3: Using your information to choose the right kit
