How to add watering system for climbers?

Any suggestions to keep these climbers going over summer with an irrigation setup? Drip feed or spray?

 

I did have a soaker (nylon) set up along fence put the hose split from weathering

Re: type of irrigation

Hi @amichaelmedia,

 

Thank you for your question about irrigation for climbing plants.

 

The best type of irrigation for plants like this is drip irrigation. Drip irrigation will deliver the water directly to the base of the plants where it is best put to use.

 

Running some 13mm poly pipe along the fence line with a dripper at the base of each plant will make watering simple.

 

Check out How To Plan An Irrigation System and Installing Irrigation Sprayers And Drippers for some guidance.

 

Let me know what you think and if you have further questions, please don't hesitate to ask.

 

Jacob

Suggestions for hose plug in?

 

I've capped one end and the put a L connection at the end of the other for the hose connect rather than a straight connection due to I was going to hide the poly in mulch and it wouldn't be as easy to plug in
