It was attended by over 2,000 guests with 350 of those guests requesting notification of future events. Over 200 volunteers helped during the two days of the expo. There were 42 booths and 65 presentations. 72 units of blood were donated, exceeding the Red Cross goal. </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: large;">Over the coming weeks, check this blog for a "Virtual Visit" of the expo. If you attended, this can serve as a review. If you weren't able to attend, this will be a great way to access wonderful preparedness information.</span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;">Emergency Preparedness Expo draws 2,000-plus to Boring</span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">By Evan Jensen</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">
<span style="font-size: large;">When Boring resident Kathy Bigelow heard the news about a 6.8-magnitude earthquake in Japan, on March 14, just a few weeks ago, she was worried. Images of last year's devastating 9.0-magnitude earthquake that destroyed three of the country's nuclear power plants, claimed the lives of 20,000 people, and caused an estimated $309 billion in damages flashed through her mind.</span></div>

<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">
<span style="font-size: large;">“My son is in Yokohama, Japan,” Bigelow said. “He was able to call me about five minutes after the earthquake. He said they were evacuated as a precaution, but everyone was fine. He knew it was coming even before it hit, because he has an app on his cell phone that alerted him.”</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Bigelow has never experienced a massive earthquake or severe natural disaster in her lifetime, but she knows it's important to be prepared. That's why she joined 2,000-plus people at the Emergency Preparedness Expo in Boring on March 16-17. The event, organized by The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, featured two days of presentations about emergency preparedness, food storage, and disaster management.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">
<span style="font-size: large;">“We really appreciate all the public agencies, emergency responders, local businesses, and volunteers who worked together to host this event,” said Crismon Lewis, president of the Mount Hood Stake of the Church of Jesus Christ. “It's important to prepare for the unexpected. We don't know when a natural disaster will occur, but being prepared makes it a lot easier to weather the storm when something happens.”</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">
<span style="font-size: large;">When the 9.0-magnitude earthquake struck Japan last year, no one thought tsunami waves would penetrate the 19-foot seawall in Fukushima. But the tsunami hammered the coastline with 47-foot waves that carried away homes, buildings, cars, and people. And earthquake specialist James Roddey, who is also the communications director for the American Red Cross Oregon Chapters, says it's only a matter of time before an earthquake and tsunami of that size will occur in the Pacific Northwest.</span></div>

<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">
<span style="font-size: large;">“We're living in an era where storms have become billion-dollar disasters,” Roddey said during a presentation at the Emergency Preparedness Expo. “Storms are getting bigger. The weather is changing, and all the natural disasters we hear about have become the new normal. These kinds of events stretch the resources of the federal government and the ability to respond to one natural disaster after another. What that boils down to is personal responsibility. Now is a good time to sit down with your families and get the ball rolling. Make a plan to take care of your family and find out how you can help your neighbors in case of an emergency.”</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Local businesses, emergency responders, and volunteers did just that at the Emergency Expo. Visitors had the chance to learn about preparing a 72-hour kit, food storage, and water purification. Other vendors provided tips and information about first aid, gardening, pet care preparedness, ham radio communications, cooking, and heat, light, and fuel options, when the power goes out.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Boring resident Charles Rattray spent the two-day expo showing people how to prepare a 72-hour kit in case of an emergency. He and his wife both have well-stocked roll-away suitcases ready to go if they needed to leave home in a hurry. These 72-hour kits contain the essentials you might expect like clothes, food, water, flashlight, and a sleeping bag.</span></div>

Charles Rattray shares his views of 72-hour kits with Evan Jensen.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">
<span style="font-size: large;">“But there's other things you should have in your 72-hour kit people don't think of,” Rattray said, who spent his career in the U.S. Army as an emergency responder trained to help provide disaster relief. “One of the things that's really important to keep in a kit like this is copies of all your important documents like your birth certificate, insurance policies, medical records, and those kinds of things. If you were evacuated, or your house is destroyed, you'll need those documents to prove who you are and get the help you need once things settle down.”</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Leaders of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints have counseled church members for decades to store a year's supply of food, stay out of debt, and be prepared for the unexpected like a natural disaster. But church leaders based in Salt Lake City, Utah, also know that even being prepared isn't always enough. In 2010 the Church provided relief to people affected by 119 disasters in 58 countries.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Bigelow isn't a member of the The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, but she has volunteered to help people with their family history and genealogy for years. And even though her husband is a veteran of managing disasters (Lt. Pat Bigelow is the fire prevention officer for the Boring Fire District), she knows they can do more to prepare for an earthquake, fire, and the unexpected.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">
<span style="font-size: large;">“This event was pretty amazing,” Bigelow said. “I came here because I wanted to find out more about how to be better prepared in case of an emergency. I'm going to put together the supplies I need for a three-day kit in case I ever need to leave the house in a hurry.”</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">

<br />
<span style="font-size: medium;">There are four areas of documents that you should consider when planning your <a href="http://beprepared.com/category.asp_Q_c_E_120_A_name_E_EmergencyKits" target="_blank">72 hour supplies</a>. Those are a record of material possessions in the home, identification, cash and irreplaceable family mementos. Following a brief explanation of each of these subjects is a complete list of documents you should consider storing in your <a href="http://beprepared.com/category.asp_Q_c_E_121_A_name_E_72%20Hour%20Kits,%20Survival%20Kits,%20&%20Emergency%20Kits" target="_blank">72 hour kit</a>.<br /></span></div>

<tr><td valign="top"><span style="font-size: medium;"><b>Taking an Inventory of Your Home</b><br />
In the event of a natural disaster or <a href="http://beprepared.com/article.asp_Q_ai_E_40_A_name_E_Emergency%20Fire%20Safety" target="_blank">fire</a>, you may find your home and everything in it badly damaged or destroyed. This is traumatic enough for any family, but if they don't have a photographic record of their possessions, they may find a battle for reimbursement with the insurance company even more horrific.<br />
Barry and Lynette Crockett, co-authors of <b>72-Hour Family Emergency Preparedness Checklist</b>, <b>Family Emergency Plan</b>, and <b>A Year's Supply</b> urge families use one of the following methods to keep track of items in the home:</span></td><td width="10"></td><td><img src="http://www.beprepared.com/images/art/IDTheft.gif" width="395" /> </td></tr>
</tbody></table>
<table><tbody>
<tr><td width="395"><span style="font-size: medium;"><ul>
<li>Make a list of every item in your home and try to include serial or identification numbers, when and where purchased, the receipt and its estimated value. </li>
<li>Use a tape recorder and make an audio list </li>
<li>Supplement a written list with photographs of furnishings and other valuables in their normal setting in the home </li>
<li>Videotape a tour of your home and garage </li>
</ul>
After you have taken inventory, store one copy with your <a href="http://beprepared.com/category.asp_Q_c_E_120_A_name_E_EmergencyKits" target="_blank">72 hour supplies</a> and then give a back-up copy with a relative or family friend (preferably in another town). Or, you could store the back-up copy in a safe deposit box; just make sure you keep a copy of the key in your <a href="http://beprepared.com/category.asp_Q_c_E_121_A_name_E_72%20Hour%20Kits,%20Survival%20Kits,%20&%20Emergency%20Kits" target="_blank">72 hour kit</a>.<br />
It's important that you make your inventory list as complete and well documented as possible. This will ensure a fast and fair settlement with the insurance company.<br />
<b>Identification</b><br />
In an emergency situation, being able to prove who you are is critical for receiving help, both from government agencies and insurance companies. Some of the documents you should have copies of in your <a href="http://beprepared.com/category.asp_Q_c_E_121_A_name_E_72%20Hour%20Kits,%20Survival%20Kits,%20&%20Emergency%20Kits" target="_blank">72 hour kit</a> include:<br />
<ul>
<li>Social Security cards and/or numbers for each of your family members </li>
<li>Drivers license </li>
<li>Passport </li>
<li>Birth certificates </li>
</ul>
Again, it would be wise to have these in water-tight bags or containers and to also have another copy in a safe deposit box or in another town.</span></td><td width="10"></td><td valign="top" width="395"><span style="font-size: medium;"><b>Cash</b><br />
After a natural disaster such as an <a href="http://beprepared.com/article.asp_Q_ai_E_20_A_name_E_Earthquakes" target="_blank">earthquake</a>, <a href="http://beprepared.com/article.asp_Q_ai_E_83_A_name_E_Hurricane%20Preparedness" target="_blank">hurricane</a> or <a href="http://beprepared.com/article.asp_Q_ai_E_85_A_name_E_Floods%20Before%20During%20And%20After%20The%20Disaster" target="_blank">flood</a>, many of the convenient ways we spend and get money no longer exist. Automatic teller machines, credit card networks, even the banks themselves are often inoperable. It is then that towns become "cash only" societies for goods your family may desperately need.<br />
Having enough cash on hand to get you through the first 72 hours following a disaster will bring peace of mind to you and your family. Here are a few suggestions of storing money:<br />
<ul>
<li>$100 - $200 in cash, small bills </li>
<li>Rolls of quarters, dimes, nickels and pennies </li>
<li>Checking, savings and credit card numbers </li>
</ul>
<b>Irreplaceable Family Mementos</b><br />
Some of the worst things a family can lose in a disaster are those that can't be replaced: photo albums, family histories, journals, the list could go on. Chances are not everything that your family cherishes will fit into your <a href="http://beprepared.com/category.asp_Q_c_E_121_A_name_E_72%20Hour%20Kits,%20Survival%20Kits,%20&%20Emergency%20Kits" target="_blank">72 hour kit</a> to be taken with you at a moments notice. There are some alternatives, however, that will bring you peace of mind in an emergency.<br />
<ul>
<li>Make copies of photographs, pedigrees and personal histories and store them with a trusted relative or friend in another town </li>
<li>Store them in single location--in a closet or on a bookshelf near an exit, so if needed, they could be taken out with your <a href="http://beprepared.com/category.asp_Q_c_E_120_A_name_E_Emergency%20Kits" target="_blank">72 hour supplies</a> </li>
<li>Store family mementos in a safe deposit box </li>

<div align="center" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<b><span style="font-family: "Arial", "sans-serif"; font-size: 10pt;">Flower seed heads fall into 2 main types - those that form pods with the seeds inside like poppies, love-in-a-mist (nigella), hosta, impatiens, etc., and those that form tufts with the seeds joined to a base and the ends open to the air like marigolds, sweet williams, carnations, sunflowers, etc.</span></b> <br />
<span style="color: #cc3300; font-family: "Gill Sans Ultra Bold", "sans-serif"; font-size: 10pt;">Pod-Type Seeds</span> <br />
<span style="font-family: "Arial", "sans-serif"; font-size: 10pt;">When the seeds are ripe, the pod will split or even burst open with surprising force - like impatiens for example. The trick is to recognize when they are nearly ready so you can harvest them before the pods split and spill the seed. For seed pods like sweet peas, lupines, nigella (shown here), cleome, and others whose pods turn dark or straw-colored long before they will split to expose their seeds, harvesting is simple. Using a small bag or a mailing envelop, place this immediately below the pod and snip off the entire pod with shears so it falls into the container.</span> <br />
<span style="font-family: "Arial", "sans-serif"; font-size: 10pt;">For seed pods like those of impatiens which remain green, a little more guesswork is required. When you see a pod has grown to approximately 1/4 to 1/3 of an inch in diameter, it is just about ready to "pop". Try to get the pod inside of the paper bag or envelop before cutting it from the plant, as it may explode on you with the least bit of contact or movement.</span> <br />
<span style="font-family: "Arial", "sans-serif"; font-size: 10pt;">Store the paper container in an airy, dry location to let the pods dry completely. Then crush them with your hands through the bag or envelope. For larger seeds like the lupines or sweet peas, you can easily remove the bits of pod leaving only the seed. For tiny seed like poppy or nicotiana, carefully empty the contents onto a sheet of paper and using tweezers if necessary, remove the larger bits of pod, and sift the rest through a fine sieve into a bowl.</span> <br />
<span style="font-family: "Arial", "sans-serif"; font-size: 10pt;">Put them into a labelled, sealed container that will keep humidity out, and store in a cool, dark place until it's time to start seeding in spring.</span> <br />
<b><span style="font-family: "Verdana", "sans-serif"; font-size: 7.5pt;"><br /></span></b><span style="color: #cc3300; font-family: "Gill Sans Ultra Bold", "sans-serif"; font-size: 10pt;">Tuft-Type Seeds</span> <br />
<span style="font-family: "Arial", "sans-serif"; font-size: 10pt;">It's easy to tell when tuft-forming seeds like sunflowers are ready - the trick is to beat the squirrels and birds to them! When the shells have formed, and begin to loosen, they are ready to harvest. Shake them off the flower into a container held below the flower head, or remove the flower head and pick them off one at a time.</span> <br />

Often, the leafy calyx holding the tufts together at the base begins to split. For ones like clematis shown here, wait until the seed head becomes feathery-looking. Hold a paper bag or mailing envelope below the seed head and snip off the head letting it drop into the paper container.</span> <br />
<span style="font-family: "Arial", "sans-serif"; font-size: 10pt;">Let the seeds dry thoroughly in an airy, dry location in the paper container. Then crush them with your hands while they are inside the bag or envelope. Remove as much of the dried bits from the seeds as you can.</span> <br />
<span style="font-family: "Arial", "sans-serif"; font-size: 10pt;">Put them into a labelled, sealed container that will keep humidity out, and store in a cool, dark place until it's time to start seeding in spring.</span><br />

<div align="center" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: "Arial", "sans-serif"; font-size: 10pt;">Preserve seed only from nonhybrid (open-pollinated) tomatoes. They produce offspring just like themselves, with only slight variations. On the other hand, hybrid tomatoes, which include most modern varieties, produce offspring that won't necessarily look or taste the same as the parents.<br /><br />Preserve seed that hasn't been cross-pollinated. All tomatoes are self-pollinating, but a few kinds (currant or potato-leaf types like 'Brandywine') can be cross-pollinated by some insects. If you're not growing currant or potato-leaf types, or you're growing just one of these in addition to other types of tomatoes, you can save seed from this year's harvest. To prevent cross-pollination in the future, cover flowers with a bag made from cheesecloth or spun-polyester fiber (available at nurseries) before blossoms open. Tag the covered flower stem with brightly colored yarn. Remove the cover when fruits are developing.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Arial", "sans-serif"; font-size: 10pt;">Peppers are the easiest seed to save. The seeds are mature after the peppers have changed color to their final stage of ripeness. The color is usually red, to a dark red-brown for non-hybrid peppers.<br /><br />Again, it is important to save seed only from heritage or open-pollinated types of peppers, which include almost all the hot peppers, and those like cubanelle, Italian and shepherd type peppers.<br /><br />Cut the peppers open, scrape the seeds onto a plate, eat the pepper and let the seeds dry in airy, shaded place, testing them occasionally until they break rather than bend. Then store in a labelled, air-tight container in a cool, dry, dark location.</span><b><span style="font-family: "Verdana", "sans-serif"; font-size: 7.5pt;"><br /></span></b><a href="http://www.ourgardengang.com/SavingSeeds.htm#top"><b><u><span style="color: #cc3300; font-family: "Verdana", "sans-serif"; font-size: 7.5pt;"><br /></span></u></b></a><br />

<span style="font-family: "Arial", "sans-serif"; font-size: 10pt;">The Cucurbits family, crops such as squash, cucumbers, gourds, eggplant, pumpkins and melons must be pollinated by insects, so unless close relatives (of the same species) have been separated by a half-mile or more, you'll get some kind of squash surprise if you grow seeds. </span> <br />
<span style="color: #cc3300; font-family: "Gill Sans Ultra Bold", "sans-serif"; font-size: 10pt;">Melons and Winter Squash</span> <br />
<div style="margin-bottom: 12pt;">
<span style="font-family: "Arial", "sans-serif"; font-size: 10pt;">Seeds of melons and winter squash are ready for saving when the fruits are ripe and ready to eat. Simply pluck the seeds from the fruit. Rinse or rub under running water in a sieve to remove any pulp, and let dry completely in a cool, airy location.<br /><br />They are dry enough when they break, rather than bend. Store in a labelled, sealed container in a dark, dry and cool location.<b><br style="mso-special-character: line-break;" /></b></span></div>

Left on the plant, purple eggplant varieties will ripen to a dull-brownish color and will turn yellowish-green. The white ones become golden. Eggplants ready for seed saving will be dull, off-colored and hard.<br /><br />Cut the ripe eggplants in half and pull the flesh away from the seeded areas. If you want to save more than a few seeds, a food processor comes in handy to mash the flesh and expose the seeds. Let them dry completely. They are dry enough when the seeds can't be nicked by a fingernail. Save in a labelled, sealed container in a cool, dark, dry location.</span> <br />
<span style="color: #cc3300; font-family: "Gill Sans Ultra Bold", "sans-serif"; font-size: 10pt;">Cucumbers</span> <br />
<span style="font-family: "Arial", "sans-serif"; font-size: 10pt;">After cucumbers ripen, they change color and start to become mushy. NOTE: Remember, if you stop picking cucumbers, their vines will stop producing new fruit, so you may want to pick your seed-savers toward the end of the season.<br /><br />Cut the ripe cucumber in half and scrape the seeds into a bowl.

When you can't dent the squash with a fingernail, it's ready to have its seed saved. Pick it, cut it open, scrape the seeds into a bowl, wash, drain and let dry completely.<br /><br />They are dry enough when they break rather than bend.

After finishing off the tasty flesh, put the seeds (spitting contests optional) in a strainer and add a drop of dish washing liquid to remove any sugar and saliva left on the seeds.<br /><br />Let them dry thoroughly and then store in a labelled, sealed container in a cool, dark, dry location.</span><a href="http://www.ourgardengang.com/SavingSeeds.htm#top"><b><u><span style="color: #cc3300; font-family: "Verdana", "sans-serif"; font-size: 7.5pt;"><br /></span></u></b></a><br />

Once the pods have turned very hard and leathery and the bumps from the inner beans are very apparent and firm feeling when squeezed, they are ready to harvest for seed. </span> <br />
<span style="font-family: "Arial", "sans-serif"; font-size: 10pt;">Split the pods and remove the seeds. Let dry completely - they should be so hard that you can't nick them with a fingernail. Store in an air tight container, in a cool, dry, dark location.</span> <br />

Some plants are male, some are female. Most plants with which we will deal have "perfect" flowers, meaning they are both male and female and have both kinds of parts.<br /><br />The male part is the stamen, which produces the yellow grains of pollen. The female part is the pistil, in the center of the cluster of stamens. When the pollen from the stamen lands on the stigma, (the top of the pistil or female part) a tube develops connecting the stigma to the ovary at the base of the style and allowing the pollen to fertilize the ovary. The ovary swells and the seeds develop within it. The swollen ovary is better known as a fruit. </span> <br />
<span style="color: black; font-family: "Arial", "sans-serif"; font-size: 10pt;">If there are no insects around to help your plants "have sex", you have to do it yourself. Using a a soft artist's paintbrush, move some pollen from the stamen to the pistil, the way bees, bugs and wind do. Not much to it, you just give nature a better chance. That's where seeds (the fruit) come from.</span><br />

<b><span style="line-height: 115%;"><span style="font-family: Calibri;"><span style="font-size: x-large;">Drip Irrigation</span></span></span></b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;"><b><span style="line-height: 115%;">Drip irrigation</span></b><span style="line-height: 115%;"> is the most efficient method of irrigating. While sprinkler systems are around 75-85% efficient, drip systems typically are </span><span style="line-height: 115%;">90% or higher. What that means is much less wasted water! For this reason drip is the preferred method of irrigation in the desert regions of the United States. But drip irrigation has other benefits which make it useful almost anywhere. It is easy to install, easy to design, can be very inexpensive, and can reduce disease problems associated with high levels of moisture on some plants. If you want to grow a rain forest however, drip irrigation will work but might not be the best choice!</span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="line-height: 115%;"><span style="font-family: Calibri;">Drip irrigation (sometimes called trickle irrigation) works by applying water slowly, directly to the soil. The high efficiency of drip irrigation results from two primary factors. The first is that the water soaks into the soil before it can evaporate or run off. The second is that the water is only applied where it is needed, (at the plant's roots) rather than sprayed everywhere. While drip systems are simple and pretty forgiving of errors in design and installation, there are some guidelines that if followed, will make for a much better drip system. The purpose of this tutorial is to guide you toward materials and methods that will increase the benefits of your new drip system, while steering you away from some common misconceptions and practices that can cause you trouble.</span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<b><span style="line-height: 115%;"><span style="font-family: Calibri;">Parts of a Drip system:</span></span></b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="line-height: 115%;"><span style="font-family: Calibri;">If you don't know a lateral from a pressure regulator start by learning about the basic parts of a typical drip irrigation system. I strongly suggest that even if you are familiar with drip irrigation you start by re-familiarizing. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></span></span><b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><span style="line-height: 115%; mso-no-proof: yes;"><span style="mso-bidi-font-weight: bold;"><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"><span style="font-family: Calibri;"> </span></span></span></span></b><b><span style="line-height: 115%;"></span></b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<b><span style="line-height: 115%;"><span style="font-family: Calibri;">Prescriptive Drip Design Guidelines:</span></span></b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="line-height: 115%;"><span style="font-family: Calibri;">These guidelines will provide you with all the information necessary to design a residential drip system for a typical yard. These guidelines are what is termed a "prescriptive standard" in the building industry. A prescriptive standard is a set of rules and/or methods that, when followed, allow you to skip the engineering calculations for a design. Obviously this saves a lot of time and effort in preparing a design. The downside to a prescriptive standard design is that it tends to "over-design" in order to make the design "one size fits all". Unlike sprinkler irrigation, drip irrigation systems are much more forgiving of design error, the cost of over sizing the materials is minimal, and so a prescriptive design method works very well for almost everyone. To prepare a fully engineered drip irrigation design requires a massive number of difficult mathematical calculations. If there was ever a great place to use prescriptive standards for the design, it is drip irrigation!</span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<b><span style="line-height: 115%;"><span style="font-family: Calibri;">Emitter Type and Flow:</span></span></b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="line-height: 115%;"><span style="font-family: Calibri;">Use pressure compensating emitters if you have an elevation difference of over 1,5 meters (5 feet) in the area you are irrigating. For more level areas turbulent flow emitters will work great and are often less expensive. For gravity flow systems use short-path emitters, they typically work better than the others at very low water pressures.</span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="line-height: 115%;"><span style="font-family: Calibri;">For most soil types 2,0 l/hr (0.6 gph) emitters work well and are more economical. For sandy soil use 4,0 l/hr (1 gph) emitters.</span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<b><span style="line-height: 115%;"><span style="font-family: Calibri;">How Many Emitters are Needed?</span></span></b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="line-height: 115%;"><span style="font-family: Calibri;">1 or 2 emitters per plant, depending on the size of the plant. Trees and large shrubs may need more. Obviously, using two allows for a backup if one clogs up (which happens now and then, even on the best designed and maintained drip systems.) But just as important, more emitters also wet more soil area. This results in more roots, and a healthier, happier plant. Exception: if the plants are very close together you may need to use less than 2 per plant in order to maintain the minimum spacing between emitters. <b>Minimum spacing for emitters:</b> In most situations install emitters at least 450mm (18") apart. A good default spacing for quick and dirty design is to space the emitters 600mm (24") apart. For supplemental watering of low-water-use plants, use one emitter per plant. Supplemental watering is used for establishment of drought tolerant plants that are not likely to need irrigation once they have developed a good root system, or might be used to apply a little extra water now and then to make them a bit more lush. Use of low-water plants with supplemental drip irrigation is considered very "green" and is the current trend in landscape design.</span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;"><b><span style="line-height: 115%;">Rule of thumb-</span></b><span style="line-height: 115%;"> install emitters 600mm (24") apart under 80% of the leaf canopy of the plant. That's where the roots are, and the roots need water. If the soil is very permeable install emitters 300mm to 450mm (12-18 inches) apart. </span></span></div>

<span style="line-height: 115%;"><span style="font-family: Calibri;">*Pumps can be tricky. This is a conservative figure in order to make it work with the majority of pump fed systems. You may be able to use a larger number of emitters by calculating the actual output of your pump.</span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="line-height: 115%;"><span style="font-family: Calibri;">Water supplies coming out of a <b>building</b> are also a problem. The piping in buildings is almost never designed to carry large amounts of water such as is used by irrigation systems. To be safe I assume you have significant restrictions. 95% of buildings have these restrictions so don't increase the flow unless you really know what you're doing. Increasing the flow could cause extreme damage to the plumbing in the building.</span></span></div>

<b><span style="line-height: 115%;"><span style="font-family: Calibri;">Backflow Preventer:</span></span></b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="line-height: 115%;"><span style="font-family: Calibri;">Drip emitters rest directly on the soil so it is especially important to have a backflow preventer to prevent water contamination by soil-borne disease. There are several types that will work depending on your situation and local codes. </span></span></div>

<b><span style="line-height: 115%;"><span style="font-family: Calibri;">Mainlines & Laterals.</span></span></b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="line-height: 115%;"><span style="font-family: Calibri;">Use 25mm (1 inch) PVC, PEX or polyethylene irrigation pipe for mainlines ("mains") and laterals. The total length of the mainline and the lateral together should not be more than 120 meters (400 feet). So you could have 100 meters of mainline and 20 meters of lateral, for a total of 120 meters of both. But you should not have 80 meters of mainline and 60 meters of lateral because the total of both would be more than 120 meters. Remember mainline is the pipe before the control valve, lateral is pipe after the control valve. Many drip systems won't need mainlines or laterals. Or they may need just a mainline, or just a lateral. </span></span></div>

<b><span style="line-height: 115%;"><span style="font-family: Calibri;">Maximum drip tube length.</span></span></b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="line-height: 115%;"><span style="font-family: Calibri;">The length of drip tube (or drip hose) may not exceed 60 meters (200') from the point the water enters the tube to the end of the tube. Thus you could have 120 meters (400') of tube if the water entered the tube in the middle (that would be 60 meters from the point the water enters the tube to the end of the tube in each direction, which would be OK). You can extend one tube off of another as long as the total length of the tubes that are connected is not more than 60 meters (200'). </span></span></div>

<b><span style="line-height: 115%;"><span style="font-family: Calibri;">Buried Emitters</span></span></b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="line-height: 115%;"><span style="font-family: Calibri;">Never bury emitters underground unless they are made to be buried. If you bury the emitter roots will grow into it and clog it. If you do want to bury the emitters do a search for "subsurface drip irrigation" to find specialty drip products designed to be buried. Follow the manufacturer's recommendations for those products as they must be designed and installed to very exacting standards to avoid problems.</span></span></div>

<b><span style="line-height: 115%;"><span style="font-family: Calibri;">Buried Tube.</span></span></b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="line-height: 115%;"><span style="font-family: Calibri;">Don't bury the drip tube. If you do bury drip tube don't complain to me if gophers, moles or other rodents chew it up. I've seen them gnaw to pieces a buried drip system over night. One day it works, the next, it's garbage. It only takes one gopher (or mole, squirrel, etc.), and one evening! You've been warned! Other wildlife (and most dogs), will also chew the tubes. It helps if you provide a water source for them to drink from if possible. A water bowl with an emitter over it to keep it full sometimes will distract wildlife from the tubes. You may need to train your dog not to chew the tubes, dogs seem to chew on the tubes for no real reason other than to annoy you. If you want to hide the tube, dig a shallow trench for it, so that it is just below the level of the surrounding soil. Don't put dirt over the tube. Throw some mulch or bark over the top to hide the tube, or plant a low spreading plant that will grow over it and hide it.</span></span></div>

<b><span style="line-height: 115%;"></span></b><b><span style="line-height: 115%;"><span style="font-family: Calibri;">Hard-Piped Drip Systems</span></span></b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="line-height: 115%;"><span style="font-family: Calibri;">A type of drip system used in commercial and high quality landscapes called "hard-piped" uses buried PVC pipe rather than poly drip tubing. The PVC pipe is installed underground and a pipe goes to each plant location, so it takes a lot of pipe. At each plant the emitters are installed above ground on short poly tubes called "risers". Hard pipe systems can be pretty expensive due. The design of a hard-piped drip system is essentially the same as shown here, except you would use PVC or larger size poly irrigation pipe in place of the inexpensive drip tubing.</span></span></div>

<b><span style="line-height: 115%;"><span style="font-family: Calibri;">Fittings- Use the correct size!</span></span></b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="line-height: 115%;"><span style="font-family: Calibri;">This is really important! There are many different sizes of drip tubing sold, and the fittings have to be made for the exact size tube you are using! If they aren't, they will either be very hard to install, or the tube will blow off the fitting. Sometimes it takes a week or so for the tube to come loose, but if the fitting is even 1mm too large, the tubing will come off eventually. Never heat the drip tube or use oil on it to make it easier to insert into or onto the fittings. </span></span></div>

<b><span style="line-height: 115%;"><span style="font-family: Calibri;">Stake down the Drip Tubes!</span></span></b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="line-height: 115%;"><span style="font-family: Calibri;">Stake the drip tubes to the ground once every meter (about 3 feet). This keeps the tubes from wandering. No kidding, they tend to move around by themselves! Staking them also helps protect them from damage. I prefer to use metal stakes as the plastic ones I've tried pull loose too easily. Wire that rusts holds even better, as the rust binds the wire to the soil. After a few days they can be almost impossible to remove. They will rust away in a few years, but by then the tubing has adapted to its position and stays in place pretty well. Standard 12 gauge wire works well, as does pieces of wire coat-hangers. Buy some coat-hangers at a yard sale or thrift store and help recycle! Bend a 300mm (12 inch) length of wire into a"U" shape to make a tubing "staple". Or you can buy metal staples that are made for holding down erosion control blankets, they work great.</span></span></div>

<b><span style="line-height: 115%;"><span style="font-family: Calibri;">Check Valves, Slopes, Hillsides:</span></span></b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="line-height: 115%;"><span style="font-family: Calibri;">Install check valves if the drip system is on a hillside of slope to prevent the water in the tubes from draining out through the lowest emitter each time the system stops running. </span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<b><span style="line-height: 115%;"><span style="font-family: Calibri;">Air Vents:</span></span></b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="line-height: 115%;"><span style="font-family: Calibri;">Install an air vent at the highest point on each drip valve circuit. If there are multiple high points you an air vent installed at each one. Air vents should always be used for drip systems on sloped areas. Air vents are often not installed on small homeowner drip systems without any slopes. If air vents are not used be sure the emitters at the highest points are not installed where dirt could be sucked into them. </span></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="line-height: 115%;"><span style="font-family: Calibri;">Install a flush valve or end cap at the end of each drip tube. Automatic flush valves are available, however my personal preference is for manual flush valves. </span></span></div>
