These emitters are inserted directly into the main half inch-feed pipe. Once you have established a good and even flow rate for the plants you can add an automatic timer to the faucet or outlet to make life a little easier.

Timing of watering can be critical. Do not water in the heat of the day or direct sunshine. Preferably, watering should be done in the cool of the morning, watering in the evenings especially in the humid weather can induce and encourage fungal problems. Water the root area and not the leaves especially on tomatoes, cantaloupe, and squash.

Also, keep the guess work out of watering and buy yourself a meter for about $15 to .$20.
