Demonstration Site at Fern Avenue Community Garden

This demonstration site is about 2200 square metres of land owned by the City of Unley. The irrigation system uses 8 of the 23 outlets on the flow splitter. There are 6 Dot2dot hose sectors using 7 of the flow splitter outlets, and one flow splitter outlet is used for the birdbath controller. This site uses about half of the irrigation capacity of the system. The control volume is 2.00 litres and the control nozzle is brown.

For each sector, the water requirement and the corresponding nozzle (nozzles) are listed in the table below.
