FAQs

Can I install a subsurface drip system myself?

Yes, you can install a subsurface drip system yourself, but it requires a bit of planning and some manual work. A subsurface drip system, or a drip irrigation system, is a method of watering plants where the water is delivered directly to the root zone, minimizing evaporation and runoff. This system can be particularly beneficial for areas with water restrictions or for those wanting to conserve water.

Before installing a subsurface drip system, it’s important to plan out your irrigation zones based on the watering needs of your plants, the type of soil, and the landscape’s slope. You’ll also need to measure your garden or lawn to determine how much drip line you’ll need. The installation process generally involves laying down the drip line in your predetermined zones, attaching the drip line to the water source, and installing an emitter at each plant location. Keep in mind that you’ll also need to account for elements like filters to prevent clogging, pressure regulators, and a backflow preventer to protect your drinking water.

What is Subsurface Drip Irrigation (SDI)?

Subsurface Drip Irrigation (SDI) is a highly efficient irrigation system that uses buried drip tubes or drip tape to meet the water needs of crops. Unlike traditional irrigation methods that apply water to the soil surface, SDI delivers water directly to the root zone of the plants. This method is often utilized in agriculture due to its low-pressure and high-efficiency characteristics. It’s a form of drip irrigation that’s applied underground, providing a practical solution for various crop types as well as different topographic conditions. 

The core component of an SDI system is the dripline, which includes tubing and drippers, buried beneath the soil surface. The placement of these lines varies based on the type of crop, soil type, and other factors but they are typically installed at a depth that directly targets the root zone of the plants. By delivering water and nutrients straight to the roots, SDI systems help to maximize water efficiency, reduce evaporation, and prevent weed growth. Moreover, this system allows for the precise application of water, ensuring that each plant receives the necessary hydration for healthy growth.
