Drip irrigation basics for small farms

How to size a drip kit, filter your water and schedule irrigation.

Drip irrigation delivers water close to the root zone. The key design inputs are your water source, field size, crop spacing and slope.

Always install a filter — blocked emitters are the most common cause of uneven watering.

Schedule irrigation by crop stage and weather, and check soil moisture by hand before and after watering.
