Drip Irrigation.... Water is delivered in small quantities under low pressure directly to... the root zone of the plants. You’ll need 1/2 inch polyethylene header pipe, and a roll of thin tape-like porous tubing. The header pipe connects to a garden hose and routes water through the garden. The pipe is placed either down the center or along one end of the garden. Small puncture holes are then made with a screwdriver into the header pipe at intervals corresponding to garden row. Eight-to ten-inch pieces of rubber connecting hose are then inserted into these holes. The other end of the connecting hose attaches to a length of porous tape. This tape is rolled out along each vegetable bed and cut to the same length as the row. Then end of the tape is then crimped to prevent water loss when the system is in use. Porous irrigation tape is best placed about three to four inches away from the base of the plants. 1, record 3, English, - porous%20irrigation%20tape

Les rampes aplatissables sont appelées des gaines qui peuvent être simples ou doubles. On distingue divers types de gaines : - gaines perforées [...] - gaines poreuses : la paroi extérieure, composée de fibres «non tissées», laisse suinter l'eau à travers des pores de quelques micromètres. Gaines perforées et poreuses ne sont utilisables qu'à de faibles pressions et ne peuvent convenir que pour des cultures annuelles (maraîchage, fleurs) en terrain plat. 1, record 3, French, - gaine%20poreuse

Correct planting technique begins with the loading of the plant at the nursery or garden center. Home gardeners and landscapers should be very careful with plant material. Always protect the roots, stems and foliage during transport... If plants must be held or stored on the landscape site, it is best to place them in a location protected from the wind and sun. 1, record 4, English, - landscape%20site

Relief. Le jardinier, quand il en a la possibilité, doit choisir un terrain au relief aussi peu accidenté que possible. La présence de monticules ou de saillies rend les travaux difficiles et entraîne souvent une opération de nivellement (onéreuse). Dans le cadre d'un terrain paysager, il est bon toutefois de ne pas conserver des surfaces trop planes : de légères déclivités donnent une certaine douceur à un ensemble. 1, record 4, French, - terrain%20paysager
