Slip the end of the tape through the narrow end of the sleeve end, sliding the sleeve about 4" in from the end of the tape. Fold the last 1" of drip tape back onto itself, then fold it back by 1" again so that you have three layers of drip tape stacked together. Slide the sleeve fitting back to enclose the folded tape.
Drip irrigation applies moisture where it is needed, at the plants’ roots, so it conserves water and does not cause mold problems. The drip method helps crops get over transplant shock and get established, and ensures adequate water supply until the rain comes. Also useful in greenhouses.
We recommend sketching your garden and proposed irrigation system before you order to ensure that you get all the pieces you need.
