Drip Irrigation
Engineer a drip irrigation system and sprout a love of botany and physics! Construct the water tower and trellis, set up the planter pots, then grow your own bean, wheatgrass, and watermelon plants. Explore the science of irrigation and the different ways that farmers put water to work (from flood irrigation to spray irrigation to computer-controlled farming!). So water you waiting for? Get growing!
From the desk of the product designer:
Behind the design
“Getting a small amount of water to drip consistently is surprisingly hard! The "aha!" moment was leaving the pushpins in the tubing. That made it easy to adjust the size of the drip hole.”
- KiwiCo Product Designer

My 7 YO had a blast building and learning about drip irrigation. The drip controls are a bit difficult to set up just right, but overall it's great!

I gave this project a 10/10 because I like seeing the plants grow every single day.

My grandson, age 8, really enjoyed this kit! His family has a small garden and I thought this would be a great teaching project. I’m hoping to order another one for my great nephew.

Loved introducing my 6 & 9 yr old to this! They completely helped in building and planting the seeds. It’s been so fun watching the seeds grow - we recently transplanted them outside!
