Designing and installing an irrigation system can be daunting to say the least. In this course - prepared primarily for homeowners and gardeners who would like to do their own irrigation - I'll break down this process to a simple step-by-step process that anyone can follow. You'll learn how to determine how much water (gallons per minute/liters per minute) you have available and what your operating pressure is and what it should be.

I'll cover both spray and drip irrigation principles. How to layout a system and how to select the best sprinklers for your situation. This course is a basic, hands-on, class in irrigation design with an entire section on installation tips and advice to help you system go in smoothly and last for years to come. I'll also cover some simple retrofits to convert spray irrigation systems to drip irrigation for greater efficiency.
