Save Water with Drip Irrigation 215 651 8329 Report Video

http://www.seedlingsrus.com 215 651 8329 Use our drip irrigation to save water when watering trees and plants. We can install or you can see it is as easy to put together as Lego's. Water is a critical component of photosynthesis, the process by which plants manufacture their own food from carbon dioxide and water in the presence of light. Water is one of the many factors that can limit plant growth. Other important factors include nutrients, temperature, and amount and duration light.

Plants take in carbon dioxide through their stomata--microscopic openings on the undersides of leaves. Water is also lost through the stomata in the process called transpiration. Transpiration, along with evaporation from the soil surface, accounts for the moisture lost from the soil.

When there is a lack of water in the plant tissue, the stomata close to try to limit water loss. Wilting occurs when the tissues lose too much water. Plants adapted to dry conditions have developed numerous mechanisms for reducing water loss, including narrow leaves, hairy leaves, and thick fleshy stems and leaves. Pines, hemlocks, and junipers are also well adapted to survive extended periods of dry conditions which they encounter each winter when the frozen soil prevents the uptake of water. Cacti, with leaves reduced to spines and having thick stems, are the best example of plants well adapted to extremely dry environments.

We have thousands of arbs and always have hundreds ready for you to pickup. From 2' to 15' we have inventory balled and burlapped. Don't worry about driving long distances to get to us. We are easy to get to near Phila., on a major road, Rt. 313 in Fountainville Pa.. We want to move our stock and will make sure that you go home a happy camper. If you are coming from a long distance, we will give away free inventory that is surplus to our needs. One of our fields is being converted into ball and soccer fields and work will begin June 1, 2006. Stock in this field will go cheap. We will stay open til the last dog dies or we sell out. I think we have more stock than what we possibly can sell.


Arborvitae are commonly used evergreen shrubs or trees useful in urban areas where low maintenance and durability is needed. Many cultivars with forms such as being globed in shape, columnar, or narrow pyramidal, tend to be near buildings, doors, and walkways. Other forms which are larger are used for screens and buffers that are planted in rows.
The form of arborvitae is small, medium, or large depending on the cultivar. Some reach 50', others only 3'. Most prefer full sun to partial sun. Planting in dense shade conditions should be avoided. A moist , well drained, loamy soil in full sunlight are ideal conditions for growing healthy arborvitae. These plants will tolerate rocky, clay, urban conditions of heat drought and pollution. The most important pest we have is bagworms which must be controlled to prevent complete defoliation. Some cultivars have multiple leaders which also prove to be a detraction for the plant. Pruning out multiple leaders in some cultivars is a simple remedy.
Our most popular Arborvitae is the Emerald Green arborvitae. The Emerald green is damaged by deer in many areas. If you have had this problem try using the Can-Can. Many people prefer to spell them Arbor Vitae . It is a bright light green color and narrow in shape. It makes a distinctive and impressive natural fence. It is easy to grow ,plant, and keep in shape.

The Hetz Midget arborvitae is a dwarf globe variety. This is a good choice for along walkways and gardens. This is a tough plant that is easy to install and not going to cost a lot. It will maintain its color in the winter and will withstand snow loads well. We carry these plants in 2 and 3 gal. pots. The prices on these dwarfs vary from $15 to $30 depending on size and quantity ordered.

It really depends on how many plants are watered at a time. Such a small amount of water is used per plant that for most applications for homeowners we actually instal a reducing valve at the faucet to restrict water flow before the supply gets to any tees.

[BillHirst18901]

The pressure will be about the sdame for 100 trees. If the line goes up a hill the pressure will be less as you rise in elevation

[zerosaves]

Cutting the main water line to fit each of the several other lines into it with a T seems radical! I would think this would affect the water pressure at each T. I would hate to see how little water is getting to those plants farther down the line... I'd be more inclined to use a larger main line and try to find some kind of water pressure valve for each off-shoot which I "punched" into the main line. No?

The drippers are $3 or less depending on numbers ordered and the supply pipe is $30 per 100ft roll Bill

[7804831]

what the is the cost of a dripper and what is the size of th trunk pipe

[TaylorEvans32]

Bill Thanks for setting up your system on our plants... Really works well...

[Jazzeerun]

Good conservation information. Useful for the the garden home and garden nursery. Good job.

[laurasIs2c]

Looks like a great system.

May I ask the vendor who created and provided the system, it seems less likely to clog than others, is that your experience?
