The wide range of MicroDrip-System components makes it easy to create

the ideal irrigation system for your garden that is perfectly adapted to the individual needs of your plants:
From continuous drops to a slight drizzle, to a gentle mist spray ­ this kind of irrigation system helps to conserve water and you can throw away your watering can!

Accurate, metered garden irrigation

With the Micro-Drip-System Fertilizer Dispenser and the Universal Liquid Fertilizer concentrate, you can supply your plants with necessary nutrients in a targeted way.

The soil is watered gently and evenly preventing too much precious water from evaporating, seeping or flowing away. This water-efficient type of irrigation system supplies the roots of each plant with exactly the right amount of water.

Less is more: more growth, more efficient and more convenient.
You can also connect a GARDENA Water Computer for fully automatic garden irrigation. It doesn’t get any easier than this!

Master Units Reduce the pressure and filter the water. Before first frost, disconnect from system and store protected from frost.

GARDENA Micro-Drip-System
Extremely versatile garden irrigation

… for hedges,

Easy watering for the entire hedge

Note:

Route the 13 mm (1/2″) Connecting Pipe (3) along the bottom of the hedge. Plan to install one Endline Drip Head (16/17) for each plant. Install the drip heads in the Connecting Pipe using the Installation Tool (2). Attach the Master Unit (1) to the input side of the Connecting Pipe. Close off the end of the pipe with a Plug (14).

Pipe Guides (6) are used to secure the pipe in the ground. We recommend using 1 Pipe Guide for each metre of Connecting Pipe. You can also install 4.6 mm (3/16″) Inline Drip Heads (20/21) in a Supply Pipe (4) for watering shorter rows of plants up to a maximum of 15 m in length. You can install up to 25 2 l/h Inline Drip Heads in the Supply Pipe.

The Master Unit 2000 can supply up to 400 2 l/h Inline Drip Heads from the centre of the 13 mm (1/2″) pipe system. If the drip heads are installed every 30 cm, this corresponds to a total length of 120 m. Additionally: As an alternative to the 13 mm (1/2″) Connecting- and 4.6 mm (3/16″) Supply Pipes, the GARDENA Drip Irrigation Lines (please also see page 15) can be used with set drip heads spaced at 30 cm.

… patios and potted plants,

Patio irrigation made easy

Note:

Accurate drip irrigation in plant pots

The 4.6 mm (3/16″) Supply Pipe (4) can be installed inside boxes for watering flowers and plants and containers and pots on patios. Five 2 l/h Inline Drip Heads (20/21) are installed in the Supply Pipe for every metre of flower box. For an effective irrigation put the drip heads as close as possible to the plants. The pipe is secured in place using 2-3 Pipe Guides (6/7) for each box. The Master Unit (1) is installed at the inlet side of the irrigation system.

If you are installing an irrigation system for more than 5 m of flower boxes, route the 13 mm (1/2″) Connecting Pipe (3) alongside the boxes and then branch off the pipe every 5 m to the 4.6 mm (3/16″) Supply Pipe (4) installed inside the individual flower boxes. Connect the pipes using Reducing T-Joints (13) and 4.6 mm (3/16″) T-Joints (9).
If you do not have a tap on your patio, we recommend using the fully automatic GARDENA Flower Box Watering set (see Page 14).

Water potted plants on your patio with Adjustable Endline Drip Heads (18/19). Install these drip heads in the end of the Supply Pipe (4) by hand using the Installation Tool.
Connect the Supply Pipe to the central Connecting Pipe (3) using Reducing T-Joints (13). You can position and secure the drip heads in the plant pot using Pipe Pegs (7). Install the Master Unit (1) at the start of the Connecting Pipe.

GARDENA Micro-Drip-System
Extremely versatile

… for greenhouses,
Irrigation suitable for greenhouses

Seedlings flourish best in the greenhouse when watered by a fine mist from Micro Mist Nozzles. You should therefore install Micro Mist Nozzles (29) approximately 50 cm apart in the 13 mm (1/2″) Connecting Pipe (3) and secure the pipe at the top of the greenhouse (to the roof truss, for example) using Pipe Clips (5) and T-joints (15). Water-sensitive plants such as tomatoes benefit more from drip irrigation at the roots of the plants.

Install Inline Drip Heads (20/21) in the 4.6 mm (3/16″) Supply Pipe (4) according to the spacing of your plants and secure the Supply Pipe in the ground with Pipe Guides (6). Use a Plug (14) to seal off the end of the pipe.

Note:
You can also combine drip irrigation and spray nozzle irrigation in one system. Install shut-off valves (8) in the individual irrigation lines before the drip heads and nozzles so that the individual plant areas are supplied with exactly the right amount of water.

… and plant troughs, bushes, and shrubs
Accurate watering for smaller areas

More awkward areas of your garden such as plant troughs or around trees can be watered using Small Area Spray Nozzles (24/25). The irrigation diameter of this type of nozzle can be adjusted from 10 to 40 cm. In irrigation systems up to a maximum of 15 m in length you should install the nozzles along the 4.6 mm (3/16″) Supply Pipe (4).

You can use up to 4 Small Area Spray Nozzles in an irrigation system of this size. If your irrigation system is longer than this, however, use the Installation Tool (2) to install the nozzles directly in the 13 mm (1/2″) Connecting Pipe (3) instead. You can install a maximum of 30 nozzles. Position the Small Area Spray Nozzles exactly where you need them using Pipe Guides (6). Seal off the end of the pipe using a Plug (14).

GARDENA Micro-Drip-System
Extremely versatile

Watering tip: We recommend watering your garden for a prolonged period once to twice a week. This will ensure that water penetrates the soil to the deeper roots of your plants. The Oscillating Sprinkler Vario 50 or each Spray Nozzle distributes approximately 5 litres per square metre per hour. This corresponds to a seeping depth of approximately 5 cm/hour depending on the type of soil in your garden.

… for vegetable plots, flowerbeds and borders

Accurate, metered irrigation for areas of all shapes and sizes

The best way to water the square and rectangular areas in vegetable plots and flowerbeds is to use the Oscillating Sprinkler Vario 50 (32). The range and width of spray can be adjusted as required. The area covered can be selected from between 5 m2 and 50 m2. You can change the height of the sprinkler according to the growth of your plants using the Extension Pipe (33).

The Oscillating Sprinkler is installed in the 13 mm (1/2″) Connecting Pipe (3) and secured in the ground using Pipe Guides (6). You can connect up to 4 sprinklers if they are spaced 10 m apart.

Gentle mist irrigation

Spray Nozzles (26/27/28/30/31) installed directly in the Connecting Pipe (3) using the Installation Tool (2) are ideal for watering vegetable plots, flowerbeds and borders below the leaves of plants.

If you need to water your plants in flowerbeds, for example, with a fine mist from above, install the Spray Nozzles on a T-Joint with nozzle connection (15) and use Extension Pipes (34) to raise the nozzles to the correct height.

Secure the T-Joint (15) in the ground using Pipe Guides (6) or attach it to a firm surface using Pipe Clips (5). You can adjust the range of the Spray Nozzles using the control valve (35). For short irrigation lines up to a maximum of 15 m you can use the 4.6 mm (3/16″) Supply Pipe (4) as a water line. You should use the 13 mm (1/2″) Connecting Pipe (3), however, for irrigation lines longer than 15 m.
For the maximum number of Spray Nozzles you can connect see page 18.
