How do I set up a drip irrigation system for my garden?

Setting up a drip irrigation system involves several steps. First, you'll need to gather materials like drip tubing, emitters, and connectors. Do you have a specific garden size in mind?

Yes, my garden is about 500 square feet.

Great! For a 500 square foot garden, you'll want to plan your layout. Typically, you can use a mainline tube running through the garden with smaller tubes branching off to each plant. Would you like help with the layout?

Yes, that would be helpful. How far apart should the emitters be?

Emitters should generally be placed 12 to 18 inches apart, depending on the water needs of your plants. Are you growing vegetables, flowers, or a mix?

I'm growing a mix of vegetables and flowers.

For a mix, spacing the emitters closer together for vegetables and a bit further for flowers can work well. Would you like tips on how to adjust the water flow?
