Save Water with Drip Irrigation
June 6 @ 10:00 am – 11:30 am
Water is as crucial to your garden as soil and sunshine. Now, as the dry season begins on the Olympic Peninsula, it’s an ideal time to think about installing drip irrigation.
By incorporating drip irrigation into your water-efficient plan, you can ensure that your plants receive the water they need in a gradual and controlled manner. This approach not only maintains the greenery of your garden but also helps conserve a precious resource.
Drip irrigation, with timers, filters, and pressure regulators, etc., may seem intimidating, but it is not complicated! Simple drip can be a very simple hose-end DIY project. No super fancy tools, plumbing skills, or higher math skills are required. Once you see a simple system put together, you’ll be ready to go.
The purpose of this presentation is to demystify drip systems for the DIY homeowner. The workshop will begin with guidance on planning a simple system and then demonstrate the assembly of major components and the selection of emitters.
The final half hour of the workshop will be dedicated to small group work with a Master Gardener, where participants can collaborate to set up a basic system.
There are numerous reasons why a simple drip system is an excellent water plan. Saving water is just one of them. Saving time, reducing disease, and growing happier plants are three more reasons that any gardener can appreciate. Advancements in drip irrigation technology have actually made DIY projects much less expensive and easier to understand. Attendees will be able to examine the easy-to-assemble (just screw them together) components and be ready to make informed decisions.
