Garden Irrigation

Irrigation System

This is the irrigation system I made last year. I used pvc pipe and soaker hoses.
This year I added flow controls to each soaker hose but I still have not been able to get the water to flow evenly through all the hoses.

  1. Hi - just came across this while searching for ideas for PVC irrigation, outdoors. By looking at the system, I can tell you why your flow rate varies across the hoses: you need to put your water connection closer to the center of the soaker hoses so it diffuses more evenly. Even then, flow rate will not be perfectly the same, but it will be closer to balanced.
