1. Don\u2019t Over-Water Your Plants
\nMany people who install their own\u00a0drip irrigation system\u00a0feel that they haven\u2019t done a good enough job because they don\u2019t see any pooling of water at the base of their plants and trees. They\u2019re used to seeing these pools when they water by hand. However, one of the advantages of drip irrigation is that you don\u2019t need as much water to get to the root system. Actually, if you see a pool of water you\u2019ve used too much. You should only see about a three-inch spot of water at the dripper.<\/p>\n
2. Don\u2019t Apply Too Much Water Pressure
\nTypically, a drip irrigation system only needs about 25 pounds per square inch, or psi. If you use too much, the drippers may squirt instead of drip and the fittings may pop off.<\/p>\n
3. Make Sure You Know the Watering Needs of Your Plants and Trees
\nDifferent plants have different watering needs, so you should do a little homework when planning your drip irrigation system. You may need to have one dripper that provides more water than another within the same system, or use extra drippers for some plants and fewer for others.<\/p>\n
