How to irrigate efficiently with our 400m hedge watering kit.
If your hedge branches or is an unusual shape, the T connectors allow the LeakyPipe to branch aswell to follow the route of your hedge. Lay it near the plants - within 30-50cm as the water will spread laterally. LeakyPipe® works by wicking water into the soil. It's porous wall enjoys close contact with rootzone materials. It helps the water migrate through the rootzone in all directions, then the roots hunt the moisture and provide better support to the aerial parts of the plants. Therefore it simply works best if hoed into the topsoil or covered by mulch.
The leak rate of this LeakyPipe (LP12L) will allow watering for 100m from a supply or hosepipe. You can water through several lengths of LeakyPipe at once (each unto a max' of 100m long) and a typical water source will generally be capable of working up to 500m cumulative length of this LeakyPipe. Generally LeakyPipe only needs to be placed on just one side of the planting, unless the plants are large. eg, over 1m tall when planted. In which case we suggest a length of LeakyPipe is laid on either side of the root ball.
With this in mind, you can design and build large systems by adding 20mm LDPE black polytube as a conduit to distribute the water around a large site, onto all the long lengths of LeakyPipe® LP12L
