SKETCH YOUR GARDEN:
Use the grid provided in the back of this booklet to draw your garden to scale. One grid space could equal 1m or 2m – you decide. Make sure you include driveways, paths, paving stones, decks,pergolas,greenhouses, sheds and garages, as well as your
actual garden beds, grass, trees, and water sources.

MEASURE YOUR WATER:
To find out what capacity your new irrigation system can potentially handle, you must first calculate your water flow rate.
Grab your average 9L bucket and time how long it takes to fill with water. Use your main garden water source (not the kitchen sink) and turn the tap on full
before you start the timer. Then use the following formula below, to calculate your litres per minute (LPM).

Time to fill bucket X 60 ÷ Bucket Size

Eg. Time to fill 9L bucket: 10 seconds. LPM: 9 x 60 ÷ 10 = 54 LPM.
