-The DIY Solar Drip Irrigation Kit is for smallholders using gravity feed drip irrigation on a garden or a small plot of land. You can automate your drip irrigation system so that water is pumped automatically from your farm pond (or from a rainwater tank, lake or river) to the header tank. All your plants are irrigated automatically so you can leave your plot unattended for weeks. This will allow you to become involved in other activities away from the plot; for example, trave<span style="font-size: 13.6px;  background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255)">lling to the market to sell your produce.</span><br/>

-The adlustable control dripper drips water into the evaporator during the irrigation event. When the water level reaches the float switch, the irrigation stops automatically. The water level in the evaporator falls as water slowly evaporates. Provided that the water level is below the float switch, the irrigation starts automatically at sunset.
