Description
The BLUELITE-NET system is an optimal solution for water-saving subsurface irrigation.
It consists of 2 elements: A non-woven net (LITE-NET) and a drip irrigation tube with a non-woven covering (BLUELITE-TUBE) laid directly on it. The water from the flexible hose is evenly released via the extremely robust non-woven coating into the LITE-NET underneath, where it is distributed capillary over a large area in the root zone of the plants. Roots can easily grow through the net openings! The water storage fleece LITE-NET as well as the non-woven covering are made of 100 % polypropylene, made in Austria.
Application
lawns, slope greening, athletic fields, soccer fields, slopes, trees, shrubs, raised planting beds, beds, vegetable beds, Urban Gardening
Installation
- Loosen subsoil, remove existing turf when renewing.
- LITE-NET Place on top and pull apart to a width of approx. 1.3 to 1.8 m (28 m²) / approx. 2.8 to 3.5 m (55 m²).
- Lay BLUELITE-TUBE directly on top. Spacing approx. 50-60 cm for water-permeable soils (e.g. sand), otherwise approx. 60-70 cm. If necessary, fix with pegs or some soil.
- Cover with soil or substrate to root depth (approx. 8-15 cm for lawn), compact and sow or lay turf.
- Connect, pour – done.
