The drip kit can support up to 100 vegetable seedlings such as kales, spinach, okra, capsicum, and tomatoes if spaced at 30cm; and more closely spaced seedlings such as carrots and dhania.
This kit is very suitable for backyards where space is limited to raising vegetables for household use.
It is also a very suitable kit for training and demonstration of drip irrigation at institutions and field days. It is very easy to set up and it doesn’t need running water as you use another container to refill it.

This kit is very suitable for a family garden where at least 4 beds can be created to plant different varieties of vegetables. The extra produce can earn the farmer some income. It is also a very suitable kit for training and demonstration at field days on how to plan a farm using drip irrigation.
