Re: Gallons of Water for a Mature Banana Plant
Randy ---- I use 4 Netafim emitters per mature mat. Two for a first time sucker. Two feeds from the main running to a tee. They are the light green emitters rated at 5 gal per hour with a main line pressure of blah blah blah. In this heat the program is set for 25 mins twice a day. So a little under 10 gals goes down each time, like you said.
I fine tuned the setup with shut offs on the feeders tweaked to reduce the flow for low lying mats to avoid flooding/overwatering. When the weather cools down it is reprogrammed to 35 mins once a day. Wahla!
