1. Map zones and water needs
Group pots, veggie rows and hedges by sun and soil. Separate thirsty veg from drought-tolerant natives so one timer program does not overwater the hardy zone.
2. Choose tubing, emitters and fittings
Common DIY kits use 13–19 mm mainline with 4 mm micro tubing to emitters. Match emitter L/h to plant size. Keep spare joiners, end plugs and stakes on hand.
3. Filter, pressure and backflow
Fit a filter and pressure reducer at the tap. Check local council rules for backflow prevention when connecting to drinking-water taps.
4. Timers, mulch and maintenance
Automate early-morning watering, mulch to lock moisture, and flush lines every few months. Replace clogged emitters rather than cranking pressure.
