Hello brother, impressive work, inspiring me to setup a smaller project in Mombasa, this gives me hope that I can farm all year round with extreme temperatures in Mombasa.
Hello my friend, thanks for sharing this impressive and motivating video. I am a very new vegetable grower from Karachi, Pakistan. I would be grateful to you if you can answer my following questions in order to help me understand more. 1. Total line length and how many lines? 2. Is there only one main water supply line and 1/2" PE tubes connected with this main water line? 3. The drip tube has emitter inside or you manually punched a hole? If manually what dia hole? 4. How much is the power of water pump? Hp/Kw? I see it works with 4 solar plates, how much watts per plate? 5. Did you estimate how much water per plant is required (Per day, per hour, how many liters) 6. Do you run the water all day in breaks? Like 1 hour run and 4 hours stop and then again? 7. What is the max peak summer and winter temperature during day time in the cropping field area? You answers will guide me a lot. Thanks
1. Total length of the driplines is 20,000 meters, average length of laterals was 28 meters 2. Yes we had on mainline 2'' and 11/2'' and several submains of 11/4'', the driplines were 16mm diameter and flat type 3. Driplines had emitters already punched at 30cm spacing 4. The maximum power for the pump is 1.4kw, we supplied 1kw to the pump, solar panels were of 250W 5. Each plant ca require about 1.8liters per day however the schedule can be irrigated twice a week 6. Each zone is run separately and in shifts 7. Temperature ranges from 24-33°C Thank you for your comment
@@WeisEngineeringLtd please may you explain point 5, what does 1.8ltrs per day mean in relation to the twice a week schedule?. are you saying you can irrigate 1,8litres for two days in a week
@@TenmaxZw Thank you for your comment. You irrigate the water required per day multiplied by the number of days you wish to come back and irrigate the same place for example, if your schedule is every after 3 days, water required to be applied will equal to 1.8X3= 5.4 liters. The schedule will depend on some factors like; 1. Actual crop type 2. Soil type 3. Climate, etc
Are you ultimately using gravity to irrigate while the solar powered pump fills the two 10000 liter tanks? Nonetheless, i love your setup and find it very inspirational. Thank you for sharing the video with us. I trust you'll reach greater heights
Hello, we are glad to hear from you. Actual site data (site visit) will be required for realistic estimate proposal You can send us more information via our website link below weisengineering.com/quotation-for-drip-irrigation-in-uganda/
Actually, im in the district of Kaberamaido in Eastern Uganda. I already have a shallow well at the farm. I would like to know how much it would cost me to set up an irrigation system with enough for a tomato garden of two acres
We are glad to hear from you sir, please send your email address at info@weisengineering.com or WhatsApp contact at +256759790557 so we send detailed list of requirements
Beautiful work. I want to know the transplanting process for the cabbage seedlings because we recently installed the drip irrigation system at our farm in Zimbabwe but we don’t know how to transplant the seedlings for them to be watered by the system. Is the transplantation system the same with normal (traditional) way we transplant?
The drip points (nipples) should face up to reduce clogging... Great job!! , Do you have solar pumping solutions from a shallow reservoir (Mini Dam) to elevated tanks 300M away?
Hello, two main factors will determine the size of the pump; 1. Volume of water you may need to pump per unit time for example per day 2. Vertical height from the dam to the delivery point, and other factors
What type material is the pipe that you use to transfer water from borehole to a distance of 200 meters? What is the pipe diameter? And what is the HP of your submersible pump pump? Thanks
Water is flowing by gravity from the raised tanks to the garden. No we are not pumping. Thank you for your comment. Don't hesitate to contact us for other questions
So does that mean the tanks has to be raised above the entire Plaine, or garden? Will the gravity fed systems just as long as the tanks a slightly elevated? Thanks.
Thanks for the message It might be due to ; 1. Longer lateral (dripline) length at a low system pressure 2. Smaller submainline in relation to number of laterals
Thank you, I'm trying to set up a system like that in Zimbabwe and was worried about that last distance from the tank to the Drip lines. Your video is very helpful.
Why 5hecters they don't look health achimwene divide by 2 the garden and do better the other portion use it for ather crops that don't need a lot of water something like beans for a example think before you go wrong achimwene don't look to be big but slowly but sure
hello i would like to purchase new trusted drip system which can cover a plot of 50 to 50 small plot. where can i buy the trusted and good drip irrigation system in uganda please????????????????

No need to reply, i have noticed the same question was posted and answered to in the comments
Yes
Alright
I already have a shallow well. How much would it cost me to do the same for two acres?
How much does it cost to set up a 1 acre drip irrigation for cabbages.

Hallo may i know how many metres of drip line do i need for 2acres of a shamba if you reply it will real help me thanks
With a spacing of 1 meter between copr rows, you will need about 81,000 metere

Hello Carrel, we glad for your comment.
We have much knowledge about irrigation, you may need an agronomist to learn about transplanting
Hi This is interesting do you have pressure pump to the mainline or you depend on gravity from the water tanks to water cabbages?
We don't have a pressure pump on the mainline, gravity pressure from the tank is enough for Non pressure compensated driplines.
The drip points (nipples) should face up to reduce clogging... Great job!! , Do you have solar pumping solutions from a shallow reservoir (Mini Dam) to elevated tanks 300M away?
Thank you sir for information, yes pumps are available. How much water are you planning to pump per day
Weis , Technical advice, what pump can be used to deliver water 600 m away from a dam not a bore hole. The pump should be solar powered.
Also the pump outlet should be 2inch.
Hello, two main factors will determine the size of the pump;
1. Volume of water you may need to pump per unit time for example per day
2. Vertical height from the dam to the delivery point, and other factors
Simply love it
Thank you
beautiful work and my dream farm too.. How many watts solar panels are you using?
How many HP pump and what's the discharge per hour...?
Panels of 200Watts, Pump hp is 1.8, discharge is 2.5m³/hr
Thank you for your comment
@@WeisEngineeringLtd what vertical height can the pump draw water?
What type material is the pipe that you use to transfer water from borehole to a distance of 200 meters?
What is the pipe diameter? And what is the HP of your submersible pump pump?
Thanks
HDPE
40mm
1.2hp
Thanks
So
Good
Thank you Samuel
Are you also pumping water from the tanks on to the field? Or is the water from the tanks dripping from gravity? Thanks
Water is flowing by gravity from the raised tanks to the garden. No we are not pumping.
Thank you for your comment.
Don't hesitate to contact us for other questions
So does that mean the tanks has to be raised above the entire Plaine, or garden? Will the gravity fed systems just as long as the tanks a slightly elevated? Thanks.
Sizing pipes properly will be needed, water will flow if there a height difference between the reservoir (tank) and the driplines
@@WeisEngineeringLtd thanks
how much water is dripping per hour from that small drip hole?
Emitters/drippers come with different flow rates from 1 liter per hour to 8 liters per hour.
This in specific was giving 1lph
I Am trying to create a good drip system but my water doesn't get to the end of the drip lines is it the size of the pipe or what?
Thanks for the message
It might be due to ;
1. Longer lateral (dripline) length at a low system pressure
2. Smaller submainline in relation to number of laterals
It must be the pressure and you must raise your tanks up in order to increase pressure
how did you resolve this problem

How much does it cost to put up such an irrigation system.
Advise us on the planned acreage, water source type and estimated distance to the gadern
@@WeisEngineeringLtd Water source is a river bank, about 3km to the farm, planned acreage is one
Thank you for information, the system may cost you about Ugx14,000,000, However actual vertical height along the 3km will need to be measured

Hello 👋
How much water is used to irrigate 1acre
Hello David, you need about 8,000 litres per day
What is the in row space?
1 meter
Are you using any pump from the tank to the drip lines, or is it gravity?
No, we are not using a booster pump from tank to the driplines
Thank you, I'm trying to set up a system like that in Zimbabwe and was worried about that last distance from the tank to the Drip lines. Your video is very helpful.
Thank you

This is rong method of drip irrigation
Is 30 cm drip line distance good for cabbage production
Yes, 30 centimeters can be used
You may need to consider soil infiltration rates and dripper flow rate.
how much can this cost me if I wanted to replicate this exactly
Thanks for the comment Edwin, you may need about 55m Uganda shillings, this will include production borehole survey, drilling, pumping test, solar system, water tanks and drip system for 5 acres.
@@WeisEngineeringLtd the price is scarring
@@apiochristine6306
It's dependant on site conditions
Great job, are they also in Kenya ????
Thank you.
Most probably there local suppliers/water engineers in Kenya
@@WeisEngineeringLtd maybe you share their contact pls🙏🙏🙏
@@linets232 We currently have no contact in Kenya
Hi. Why such huge spacing between rows
Because others crops with different spacing were to be planted after cabbages.
Thank you for your comment.
How much is drilling and pumping only
$4,800 - 6,300 excluding hydrogeological survey and pumptesting. Cost of pumping depend on drilled depth, desired flow per unit time, vertical height and horizontal distance between the well and delivery point
How many acres and what is the cabbage population?
5 acres

Thanks for the comment, cost per acre can be about 3.5m Uganda shillings
Hi
Hello
How many minutes or hours you keep it running??
Thanks for your comments Ahmed, this will depend on crop type, soil and climate of the area
@@WeisEngineeringLtd means you don't keep it running 24 hours??
True, you may run it for 1-3hours.
@@WeisEngineeringLtd thank-you, from Pakistan
Do you you need to use a booster pump to boost water to the laterals or pump is only used to fill the tanks ?
