Installing a garden sprinkler system is a great way to take care of your garden. Here are a few tips to help you make sure the system is set up properly.

Before you do any digging, it is important to understand where you need to place the sprinkler heads. The easiest way to determine the placement of the heads is to take into consideration the circumference of the area each head is manufactured to cover. Coverage may vary slightly from one garden sprinkler system to another, so make sure you read the instructions that came with your materials. Typically, the coverage area will be at least twenty feet.

Once you know where the sprinkler heads should go, layout the piping or the hose that will supply the water to your garden sprinkler system. Again, this should be done before you ever dig the first trench. By laying out the hose or pipes ahead of time, you eliminate the chance of having to stop in the middle of the project to obtain additional materials.

Next make sure you have each head in your sprinkler system set to the coverage range you need. You will find it much easier to perform this task before the heads are actually installed in the ground. Once you have the settings in place, go ahead and runs some water through your garden sprinkler network, allowing you one last check to make sure everything is in order.

In digging the trenches, make sure you are careful with the sod. Once the lines are laid for your garden sprinkler system, you will want to use the sod to cover over the piping. As for depth, check the recommendations that came with your system.

After replacing the sod, try the system one more time. If everything is in order, the result will be a sprinkler system that is utilizing the right amount of water in the right places throughout your garden. Once the system is working properly, program the timer to begin the process of watering at the proper intervals during the day and early evening.

Setting up your garden sprinkler system is an easy process and will make all the difference in producing a healthy, bountiful garden.
