Step 1: Gather Information
To help ensure that you gather all the critical information needed to successfully choose and install a 1-acre farm drip irrigation kit we created a list of questions below that will act as an information-gathering guide.
Questions to Answer:
1. How far is your water source to the last row that you need to water?
This will help you find how much mainline/header row tubing/hose will be needed. You will need to measure from your water source to your rows. Then you will need to measure the distance from your first row to the last. This distance will be your header row, which is where you will run your lateral rows of drip tape down each row. When you add the tubing/hose required to reach your plot from your water source and the length of your header row you will get the total amount of mainline tubing/hose needed.
2. How many rows do you intend to water?
The number of rows correlates to the number of fittings that you will need. Our 1 Acre Farm Kit kit suggests a predetermined number of rows for the kit based on the number of fittings included in each kit. If your configuration is for more rows than the kit provides, then you will need to make notes so that you can add extra fittings to match your layout.
3. How long is each row?
This will help determine the total amount of drip tape that you will need. Add up the length of each row. For example, The max run length for drip tape with a 0.25 GPH emitter is 606 ft. at a 0% grade with a 90% uniformity.
4. What is the flow rate of your system?
Step 2: Creating a sketch
Once you have answered the questions in Step 1 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 details, which may result in not ordering enough parts or incorrect parts the first time.
