Step 7 -
Place two AA batteries (not included) in the controller and set the controller according to the
manufacturer’s instructions. We recommend watering the garden twice a day for 2 - 4 minutes each time.
Connect a garden hose to the garden hose adaptor at the T-fitting to test the system. Twist the shut off valve
open to flush out any rocks or debris that might have gotten into the pipes. Briefly turn the water on from the
water source to make sure there are no leaks. Then, close the shut off valve. Turn the water on again from
the water source and press the manual system button on the controller to make sure water comes out of the
blue fitting with the 4” tubing. Correct any leaks by tightening fittings as necessary, before moving on to the
next step.
The shut off valve should remain in the closed position except while the coil hose is being
used.
Step 8 -
After the garden bed has been filled with soil, unwind the soaker hose. Then, attach one end to the
soaker hose adaptor to the 90 degree elbow. Place the soaker hose on top of the soil so that it winds through
the garden beds. Use the earth staples to hold the hose in place. Plant vegetables close to the soaker hose to
ensure they will receive adequate water. Enjoy your garden!
The soaker hose is ideal for the 8x12 model. The hose can be cut shorter for the 8x8 model if needed.
