Joshua Siskin writes about gardening each week.
If you are considering the installation of an irrigation system, you will want to keep in mind the options below. In fact, you may wish to install a variety of systems, depending on the plants you are growing in the different areas of your front and backyard gardens.: This is the system that is the most water-efficient since every drop of water goes directly to plant roots. It is now possible to grow anything with a drip system, including lawns, thanks to subsurface drip irrigation .
In any drip system, if you have a light, fast-draining sandy soil you will need your in-line emitters spaced more closely together than where soil is of a heavier clay texture. There are usually two to three different emitter spacing options available, whether conventional drip or SDI is the system you choose.
Overspray or runoff onto sidewalks and driveways is a violation of LADWP policy where irrigation regulations are concerned. Watering is only allowed before 9 am and after 4 pm, but you can water with a hose, as long as it has a nozzle shut-off, seven days a week during these permitted times.: These are the lazy man’s choice for watering flower or vegetable beds. You just screw the end of a soaker hose onto your hose bib and turn it on.
