Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)I have enjoyed numerous books from the "... For Dummies" series. I love how they approach their material in a way that someone who knows nothing about the subject can understand. The books then go on to give a useful level of depth about the subject. This kit does not. The 'book' is a pamphlet and is only useful for very small gardens. Just because I am a drip irrigation dummy does not mean I am a dummy with a small garden. I'm picking up my drip irrigation knowlege piecemeal with no confidence in my conclusions and hoped that this kit would solve that. It doesn't. I want to know what size pipes are appropriate where? How many emitters can I connect before the water pressure gets too low? What, exactly, is an emitter? How does water pressure affect my setup? When are filters necessary? What the heck's a manifold? How long are you supposed to water (that would be a complex answer depending on emitter, water pressure, and soil, I would imagine)? What kind of timers are best for which situations? When I go looking for answers I tend to get swamped with options I don't understand. I would expect a dummies book to address these questions clearly and concisely. Instead you get something that's only useful if you're trying to water less than a dozen plants and that will probably get clogged up fairly soon because there's no filter (or so I gather - I could be wrong about that, I haven't found a book to explain it properly to me).
Edited to add: (at request from the comments) Drip Irrigation for Every Landscape and All Climates, 2nd edition
is the closest I've come to finding my answers.
It's not as 'basic' as I would like and I haven't tried to implement its reccomendations yet but it does appear to have the answers to my questions.
