Hi, I will like to know if anyone knows how to make a system of irrigation such that by using valves or other materials and a storage of rain water it can irrigate the plants while I am not home. If anyone knows of websites that might help me I will appreciate it.
this no problem,. a little pump with volt12 a akku to load from power or solar,. a pipe line with 4 or 5 mm and over the plants in the pipe line holes with 1 or 2 mm to make a hole,. then is come when the pump run water of the plats,. look how to ling is good and install for the pump a counter swatch for the pume he is run then minutes 15 or 30 minutes,. it is the a automatic system,.
oh sorry schreibe es besser in deutsch,. es ist sehr einfach,. man installiert eine Leitung mit einem Durchmesser von 4 oder 5 mm über den Pflanzen,. bohrt in diese Leitung über den Pflanzen löcher rein,. an diese Leitung installiert man eine 12 volt pumpe welche von einer Batterie versorgt wird. Die Batterie lädt man über ein Solarpanel oder über ein Ladegerät auf. Die Pumpe sollte man von einer Schaltuhr mit Elektro Anschluss betrieben werden so das die pumpe 15 Minuten oder 30 Minuten je nach Wasser bedarf der pflanzen läuft,. so erhält man eine Automatisches Bewässerungs System
I have started a “pallet garden” which does pretty much what you want to do. http://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL00C41C26C91A76BB&feature=view_all It is just 14 days old so not much news yet.
It certainly seems to work. I used 3/16 inch tubing but 1/4 inch is probably better for what I am doing.
I have ended up putting masonry sand in the vertical part (Our soil contains just too much clay for that part) and I have about 4 inches of crushed dolomite lime at the very top. That should hopefully keep things from getting too acid. I will start a larger one soon. Brian
