  • Installing a lawn sprinkler: Step-by-step instructions for watering your garden

    A person holds a trencher, creating trenches in a grassy yard for irrigation. Several orange buckets filled with soil are placed around the dug areas, with a brick path on the right and a stone building in the background. www.commaik.de

    Installing lawn sprinklers and setting up efficient lawn irrigation – that’s exactly what this article is about. I show how I planned my garden irrigation system, laid the PE pipes and equipped the system with automatic irrigation. I explain step by step how to excavate the trenches, connect the sprinklers with Hunter Swing-Joints and test for leaks. In the end, the irrigation runs reliably and saves time when watering.

  • Lawn Irrigation Comparison Hunter MP Rotator vs. RainBird R-Van

    Two black Rain Bird lawn sprinklers spray water in multiple streams across a vibrant green grass lawn on a sunny day. www.commaik.de

    My lawn irrigation system has been extensively rebuilt in recent years in preparation for expansion. The small lawn in front of the office on the east side should be incorporated into the existing lawn irrigation system in a timely manner. I had already calculated the position of the sprinklers. The area is relatively small, about 10 x 10 meters. Irrigation with the previously installed Hunter i20 sprinklers did not seem very effective to me. I have therefore dealt with more in-depth with the so-called rotator bursts.

  • Build your own automatic hedge watering system

    Sprinkler system components and hoses are laid out on a bin next to a green lawn and a hedge, ready for irrigation installation in the garden. www.commaik.de

    A good 10 years ago, I planted a hedge on the south side of our property, which consisted of around 200 Thuja Smaragd plants. These were carefully placed in the ground along a guideline. The plants I bought from a nursery were barely taller than 20 cm, including the roots. Watering the hedge took a lot of time in the summer, which prompted me to look for a solution to optimize this process. To optimally support the growth of this hedge and reduce the time required for watering, I decided early on to install an automatic hedge watering system. Based on the experience I gained from building my lawn irrigation…
