The flower beds and ornamental beds should be easier to maintain in the future. For automatic watering of the plants I have installed the Rain Bird XFD drip tube. This dripline is installed above ground and supplies the plants with water. The RainBird Dripline has a watering hole every 30cm. The hose is self-cleaning, loadable up to 4.1bar and delivers 2.3 liters / hour to the running meter.
The control is done with the Hunter PGV solenoid valve and my Hunter X-Core irrigation computer.
In this video, I show how I installed the valve box in the ground and installed the RainBird water manifold inside with the Hunter solenoid valves. I installed PE25 piping as the main line. From these pipes then go individual irrigation circuits to the plants. In the video you can see how I combined the fittings from Gardena with the fittings from RainBird.
Additionally, I installed an automatic watering system with the RainBird drip tube in my new raised bed. By regulating the water flow on the Hunter solenoid valve, I was able to install simple connectors here.
The work is being done on an apartment building with many elderly residents. The automation should further reduce the physical labor. I look forward to your feedback!
