Irrigação com vasos de detergente

Irrigation reusing detergent bottles

Sidney (one of the farmers from Cafarnaum) Presents: A simple way to irrigate.

Materials you need: plastic bottles (detergent in this example), pipes, "T" pipe for connection, etc.

How to build the irrigation system: you will see in the following images.

Picture 3 shows the 4 plastic bottles, the pipes and the "T" connections that will be used.

Picture 4: cut pieces with 40 cm of a 20-inch pipe

Picture 6: introduce a 10cm pipe in each "T" connection and each 40cm pipe in each T

Picture 8: introduce each 10cm pipe in each bottle

Picture 10: introduce some 40cm wood sticks in the soil

Picture 11: tie the "system" to the sticks

Picture 13: connect a pipe or a rubber hose (water source) to the system. Let the water flow into the system turning the faucet.

Picture 15: use a needle to bore small holes in the plastic bottle (in the side you wish to irrigate)

Picture 20: when it is wet, you can start marking the area you will have your horticulture

  1. Sidney e Jonas, parabéns pelo trabalho de vocês. O vídeo está muito explicativo! Fiquei arrepiado de saber que estão usando a tecnologia como ferramenta pedagógica!

    Tenho certeza que Sidney poderá usar isso em aulas na sua comunidade e nas escolas de Cafarnaum!

    Um abraço,

    Alan
