The BLUELITE-NET system is an optimal solution for water-saving underground irrigation for lawns, athletic fields or trees.
It consists of 2 elements: A non-woven net (LITE-NET) and a drip irrigation tube with a non-woven covering (BLUELITE-TUBE) laid directly on it. The water from the flexible hose is evenly released via the extremely robust non-woven coating into the LITE-NET underneath, where it is distributed capillary over a large area in the root zone of the plants. Roots can easily grow through the net openings!

Application

lawns, slope greening, athletic fields, soccer fields, slopes, trees, shrubs, raised planting beds, beds, vegetable beds, Urban Gardening

Installation

1. Loosen subsoil, remove existing turf when renewing.
2. Place the LITE-NET and pull it apart to a width of approx. 1.3 to 1.8 m.
3. Lay BLUELITE-TUBE directly on top. Spacing approx. 50-60 cm for water-permeable soils (e.g. sand), otherwise approx. 60-70 cm. If necessary, fix with pegs or some soil.
4. Cover with soil or substrate to root depth (approx. 8-15 cm for lawn), compact and sow or lay turf.
5. Connect, pour - done.
