It is told about how to equip a drop irrigation on a small personal plot.
I live in Simferopol, on Kachinskaya Street, 72, on a tiny ground at the house broke in due time a vineyard: grades and hybrids only the in a complex steady. Thanking inoculations on one bush to six and where and to eight grades and hybrids it was possible to place on four hundred parts of the earth them to fifty.
Last year was engaged also the pitomnichesky: began to grow up saplings of these grades and hybrids. Now grew up Kesha 1 (Talisman) and Victoria.
But even on such tiny site I in my city conditions had problems with watering. Here also decided to equip at itself on a site a drop irrigation about which now write in special editions as about very economical and effective much.
In this regard it would be desirable to learn, where at us in the Crimea it acts on personal plots and as is equipped.
P. Ponamarenko, Simferopol.
With your letter, dear Peter Ivanovich, me was necessary to go to the village of Roshchino of the Dzhankoysky area to wine-grower Sergey Ilyukhin at whom, on authentic data, "droplet" already waters long ago both grapes, and wild strawberry, and garden cultures. The site of times at it in eight surpasses yours in the area, whether also I should find out system probably operating at the roshchinsky wine-grower to squeeze in a framework of your small site.
System at Ilyukhin branched out as "droplet" feeds with moisture not only grapes roots, but also wild strawberry, garden cultures, but I will not tell that it too the already difficult.
Behind the house, on the brink of a site Sergey on the metal frame device established a tank for water. Below for the bottom of a tank adapted the pump which under pressure submits water to a collector. What does it represent? An ordinary polyethylene pipe in diameter three quarters of a dime (it is possible to lay inch and even polutoradyuymovy), laid across a site. The water, moving the pump from a tank, is passed in the beginning through established on an entrance in a collector the filter, and then already filtered under pressure goes on a collector pipe.
Depending on that for what watering of cultures the collector is intended, injectors run into it at distance of row-spacings of crops or landings with taps. And as Sergey should adapt system for simultaneous watering of grapes and wild strawberry, having arranged injectors on a pipe at the different distances corresponding to row-spacings of that and other culture, he achieved that "droplet" began capable to submit moisture at the same time and precisely to root system as wild strawberry, and grapes. The wild strawberry thus with moisture is fed stretched from collectors for all length of ranks by hollow tapes in which droppers are arranged at distance of 15-20-30 mm depending on distance between plants among. And grapes are fed with moisture as laid on all length of ranks by more dense and large tubes with the droppers established at distance of 1-1,5 m so that moisture went precisely to roots.
Taps as the owner of a site explained, are necessary in order that in case, say, watering is necessary to grapes, and to wild strawberry isn’t present, it would be possible to block water supply on a tape. It is possible to switch off thus and a separate row if it, for example, was already watered, and repeated watering doesn’t demand.
Here such here system. If to make smaller on volume and extent, to equip it it is possible and on a small site. And the head to fool, as its all details are made at plants, and to get them it is possible in special shops, to you, Peter Ivanovich, isn’t necessary.
"Droplet" has also one more attractive property: together with water it can bear to roots of plants and the fertilizers dissolved in it. Thus, however, it is necessary to consider water flow on your site is how strong, whether it can pick up and carry away to roots of plants. Well and if on that, a big site forces for this purpose don’t suffice to it and Ilyukhin should prepare bakovy solution in separate capacity and, having connected it to system, to submit to roots of plants, you the second option, most likely, will approach.
As well as any other, drop system should be washed out, cleared of the postponed salts, other impurity. The wine-grower does it of Roshchino by means of ortofosforny acid, starts it from a tank with uterine solution or through an injector in system, maintains in it, having given the chance to destroy all scum, and then washes out pure water. And acid in this case operates and as clearing means, and as phosphoric fertilizer.
