The vegetable garden kit includes all the fittings and accessories needed to install various lengths of drip line in a vegetable garden planter starting from a hose faucet. The ML50 kit can be used to water all types of vegetable plants in an 8" to 12" spacing with a flow rate of up to 220 GPH using the 1/2" drip tubing as the main line.

The most important practice for a healthy and productive vegetable garden is the use of an appropriate irrigation system. During years of normal rainfall, rains usually wet the soil and provide a good supply of deep soil moisture. What happens later will depend upon the efficiency of your irrigation system. Adequate soil moisture is important for seed germination, uniform growth, and productivity. Correct use of a drip irrigation system should keep vegetable plants actively growing in dry periods yet cause no problem when rain occurs following irrigation. The system, when properly operated, keeps soil at the base of the plant (root zone area) moist. This may require operating the system for short periods two to four times a week during dry weather in order to prevent the soil from ever becoming completely dry.

One of the most important features of a drip irrigation system is the creation of a totally new and more favorable root zone environment within the planting. Drip irrigation sustains this environment by using low flow rates to maintain constant soil moisture levels. This encourages better growth and disease resistance by reducing plant stress.

Note: To automate this kit use our model 9001D hose end timer.

All parts included
• Ease of installation - the ML50 kit can be installed without special tools or glue, and with limited knowledge, making the installation a very simple process.
• Reduced pest problems and weed growth - watering only the plant roots using drip irrigation cuts down on water-borne pests and fungal diseases that spread by water movement, as well as the germination of weeds in the areas between the plants.
• Water efficiency - by applying water only where and when it is needed, with less runoff and less evaporation from leaves and soil, the uniform application of water from your drip irrigation systems can achieve high water savings.
