2. सेटअप आणि स्थापना

Follow these steps to set up your drip irrigation system:

४.१. तुमच्या लेआउटचे नियोजन करणे

• Plant Spacing: Consult plant tags or online resources for recommended spacing for your specific plants (e.g., tomatoes, peppers, eggplants).
• जलस्रोत: Identify the nearest hose or faucet for connection.
• आवश्यक साधने: Measuring tape, scissors or tubing cutter, and a container of hot water (optional).

३. घटक एकत्र करणे

1. Mark Plant Locations: Use craft sticks or similar markers to indicate where each plant will be located.
2. Lay Out Tubing: Position the 1/4-inch main tubing along your planting area. Secure it with the included loop stakes every couple of feet to prevent coiling.
3. Cut and Insert T-Fittings: Use scissors or a tubing cutter to cut the main tubing at desired points and insert T-fittings. These fittings will branch off to individual plants.
4. Prepare Tubing for Fittings: If tubing is stiff, leave it in the sun for 30 minutes or soak it in warm water for 10 seconds to soften it, making insertion easier.
5. शाखा ओळी जोडा: Measure and cut smaller tubing lengths from the T-fittings to each plant location (approximately 3-4 inches away from the plant).
6. उत्सर्जक स्थापित करा: Attach a drip emitter to the end of each branch line. The kit provides two drippers per plant for optimal root watering.
7. पाण्याच्या स्त्रोताशी कनेक्ट व्हा: Screw the faucet drip filter onto your hose or faucet. Then, screw the hose-to-drip line adapter onto the filter's side inlet.
8. Secure Tubing to Adapter: Push the 1/4-inch main tubing firmly into the adapter until it's fully seated. Rotate the lock symbol on the collar to align with the arrow on the fitting to secure.

3.1. Initial System Test

1. पाणीपुरवठा हळूहळू सुरू करा.
2. Observe each dripper to ensure water is being emitted. The flow will be small, approximately 1 gallon per hour per emitter.
3. Check for any leaks at connections. If leaks occur, tighten connections or use couplings.
4. Once the system is confirmed to be working correctly, you can proceed with planting starter plants or seeds.

3.2. Watering Schedule

The ideal watering schedule depends on plant type, soil conditions, and local climate. Monitor your plants and soil regularly.

• New Plants: Keep the soil consistently moist but not waterlogged. Check soil moisture daily.
• Established Plants: Aim to keep the soil damp 1-2 inches below the surface. Water when the soil feels dry at this depth.
• समायोजित करणे: As plants grow and weather conditions change, you may need to adjust watering frequency and duration. Test your system for 10-minute intervals to determine how deep the water penetrates.
• Automated Watering: For convenience, consider adding an Orbit watering timer (sold separately) to automate your watering schedule.

4. देखभाल

• नियमित तपासणी: Periodically check all tubing and emitters for clogs, damage, or leaks.
• फिल्टर स्वच्छ करा: The faucet drip filter should be cleaned regularly to prevent sediment buildup, which can restrict water flow.
• Adjust Emitters: As plants grow, adjust the position of the drippers to ensure water is delivered to the expanding root zone.
• हिवाळीकरण: In freezing climates, disconnect the system from the water source and drain all water from the tubing to prevent freezing and damage. Store components indoors during winter.

5. समस्या निवारण

• No Water Flow / Low Flow:
  • Check if the water source is fully open.
  • Inspect the faucet drip filter for clogs and clean if necessary.
  • Look for kinks or blockages in the tubing.
  • सर्व कनेक्शन सुरक्षित असल्याची खात्री करा.
• कनेक्शनमध्ये गळती:
  • सर्व कनेक्शन घट्ट करा.
  • If tubing is rigid, use the warm water softening method before inserting fittings.
  • Use repair couplings for damaged sections of tubing.
• असमान पाणीपुरवठा:
  • Adjust individual emitters to ensure even distribution.
  • Ensure sufficient water pressure from the source.
• Tubing is Too Rigid to Connect:
  • Leave the tubing in direct sunlight for 30 minutes to soften it.
  • Soak the ends of the tubing in a bowl of warm water for 10 seconds before inserting fittings.
