Sub-surface irrigation system and method

摘要

An irrigation system and method is provided that includes a set of longitudinal perforated tubing members, with each tubing member having a tubing proximal end attached or attachable to a proximal lateral fluid conduit and having a tubing distal end attached attachable to a distal lateral fluid conduit to form an irrigation array. Two types of cross members are provided, a spacer cross member and a tubing cross member. The cross members hold each of the perforated tubing members in a grid-like pattern forming a tubing/spacer array or a tubing/tubing array. The longitudinal perforated tubing may be cut to accommodate the shape of a landscape format. Methods are provided for joining or ending the cut portions. The irrigation array is created, attached to a water supply, and buried below the surface of the ground.

主权项

1. An irrigation tubing system, comprising:
multiple longitudinal perforated tubing members 80 each of which have a tubing first end 81 and a tubing distal end 89; multiple lateral perforated tubing members 100 each of which have a tubing first end 101 and a tubing second end 109; a proximal lateral fluid conduit 20 attached to said tubing proximal ends 81 of each of said multiple longitudinal perforated tubing members 80; a distal lateral fluid conduit 40 attached to said tubing distal ends 89 of each of said multiple longitudinal perforated tubing members 80; and a longitudinal fluid conduit 60 having a longitudinal conduit first end 61 attached to said proximal lateral fluid conduit 20, a longitudinal conduit second end 69 attached to said distal lateral fluid conduit 40, and having each of said tubing first ends 101 and said tubing distal ends 109 attached along the longitudinal length of said longitudinal fluid conduit 60; wherein said multiple lateral perforated tubing members 100 are interwoven with said multiple longitudinal perforated tubing members 80.
