“On how to maintain and insight about it check my IG. If your water source is stream or river, compulsorily you will need filter so that your drip tape will last and your crop will enjoy uniform water dropping from each emitter.”
“I design what it will look like to make me know the materials I will buy..”
“read carefully! I don't promise flat and drip, what I promised is fixing burst PVC which is now available on my channel.”

“Pls what is the current price of drip tapes.”
“I don't know or understand the motive behind irrigating cocoyam and plantain because dry season cannot kill both, if it is cocoa now I understand.”
“It can be used for well. But the water must not be too deep or else it wont work. There is a maximum depth for the suction pipe.”

This is a technical Q&A thread where farmers discuss the practical installation of drip irrigation systems, specifically addressing ridge length, emitter spacing, and repair methods for rodent damage. The conversation evolves from initial setup questions to troubleshooting specific field problems like leaks caused by bush rats, with users sharing DIY solutions like using shoe gum or black tape. The thread serves as a peer-support network for small-scale irrigation management rather than a commercial listing.

“bush rats put some tiny holes on some of my drip tapes. I think they were biting it in search of water.”
“Patch the holes using black tape.”
“A standard plot of land in places like Ogun/Lagos state is 36m x 18m (120ft by 60ft). So 36m is just the same as the the length of a plot of land which is not that long according to your submission.”
