Simple garden sprinkler with pressure booster home made.

This new accomplishment is the initial part of a more complex irrigation system that I'm going to install in my vegetable garden near 2012.

It is a system of supply of rainwater through a system of pipes.It is also equipped with a small compressor to give a little water pressure to get to the farthest point of the garden.

Everything was built with material recovery for the most part, or at best with low cost material.

Step 1: The componets

The main components are:

1) a tank 25 liters (of a certain ruggedness)

2) a small compressor for inflating bicycle tires

3) irrigation hose

4) rigid tube (recovered from an old electrical equipment from outside)

5) a few meters of flexible tube with a diameter of about 5 mm.

6) hot glue

7) other little accessory material

In this first project I dealt with irrigation of my tomatoes; I'll hope afterwards, by explaining it with another instructable, irrigation of the rest of the seedlings of my vegetable garden.

However already in this realization are the main components of the next.

As the owner of a small garden setup,located about fifteen feet beyond my garden hoses length,I thank you for a simple but effective solution

Thank you for your interest; I'm happy that my implementation (yet perfect of course) you could be useful!
