Irrigation In Summer Essential For Garden Irrigation in hot, dry summers is essential in getting the kinds of yields you want from your vegetable garden. If you weren't set up to irrigate this year, it isn't too early to begin plan ning for the next season. Year in and year out, irrigation is a valuable asset. Rare is the sum mer when lengthy dry spells don't wilt the corn and other crops and result in disappoint ing harvests. Agricultural Ex tension Service specialists at North Carolina State Univer sity suggest that the best way to irrigate the gar den is with a rotary im pact sprinkler. These sprinklers are available in a variety of sizes. The best size is one that will cover a 70 to 80-foot area with a nozzle size of 5/32 of an inch. It should have a discharge rate of about four gallons per minute at 35 to 40 pounds per square inch (psi) pressure. This sprinkler should be mounted on a M> to 3/* inch riser sufficiently high to clear the tallest crop in the garden, which is usually corn. Rotary impact sprink lers are available either as a part circle or full circle Sprinkler. In many cases they can be operated either way with simple adjust ments. Most hardware and farm supply stores have these sprinklers. They can also be found in some discount depart ment stores. You can get the water to the sprinkler head through a garden hose or, if you want to save a lot of hose moving and untangling, you can in stall underground plastic pipe. The supply line should be a minimum 5/8 or 3/4 of an inch. You will be disappointed with the capacity of anything smaller, if you plan to do much irrigating. When irrigating, one of the most common mistakes made is cut ting off the water too soon. Apply Ms to 1 inch of water each time you irrigate. This will require two to four hours, or possibly more, depending on the capacity of your system. Most crops wil) use between 1/6 and 1/4 inch of water per day, depending on the size of the crop and the amount of sunlight. In addition to the rotary impact sprinkler, a soaker hose or drip irrigation system can be substituted with good success. Other types, such as those that fan tiny streams high into the air, are not as satisfactory. For one thing, too much of the water is lost to evapo ration. Late in the season, be on the lookout for special prices on irrigation equipment. Merchants may want to deplete their supplies rather than pack them up until next season. But beware of cheap sprinklers. You may be dollars ahead in the long run paying more for good quality that will last several seasons than paying less for some of the low quality plastic sprinklers that have little durability.
