Installing a drip irrigation system is not difficult nor does it have to cost a lot of money.

First, gather all the supplies at the local home improvement store. You will need a hose bib manifold, three pressure reducers, three automatic valves with a timer, and drip tubing.

Second, screw the hose bib manifold onto the hose faucet outside your home. The hose bip manifold will split the water that comes out of the hose faucet, effectively turning it into four different faucets.

Third, screw a pressure reducer onto three of the four new faucets that you just created. The pressure reducers will reduce the water pressure coming out of those three faucets to an appropriate level for a drip irrigation system. The Fourth faucet without a pressure reducer will be used for your hose.

Fourth, Screw the automatic valves to each of the three pressure reducers and attach them to the timer. The timer can then be set to turn on and off each of the three valves on specific days and times.

Fifth, attach the tubing to the three valves and run it to where your lawn or garden needs water. The tubing can be simply placed on the ground under thick plant cover or it can be placed underneath mulch to hid it from view.
