Installation Guide

1. Drive your DEEP DRIP® stakes into the ground, hammering
at the top of your stake’s cap. Don’t strike at an angle or
with a drip line connected. Use a rubber mallet for 8” stake
or a 3-5 lb sledgehammer for all other sizes. (fig.1)
2. Leave the shaft’s top hole exposed for maximum aeration
& easy removal.
3. Once driven in the ground, remove your stake’s cap.
4. With the emitter head attatched, Insert the end of your drip
line downwards into the stake. (fig.2)
5. The emitter head will sit halfway between the shaft’s first
and second holes. (fig.3)
6. Place the stake’s caps back over the shaft, securing the
dripline in place with the cap’s slotted drip line hole. (fig.4)

SOAK WITH HOSE
1. Dig a well around your plant; larger plants will need a
larger well and more stakes (follow the stake placement
guide for instructions on how many stakes your plant will
need) (fig.1)
2. Inside the plant well, bury stakes, leaving the stake’s cap
on and top hole just above ground. (fig.2)
3. Place your hose on a slow, but steady flow within the well
(fig.3)
4. As the well fills up, water will flow into the top hole of your
stake, watering deep down to your plant’s roots. (fig.4)
Ask your local nursery professional for recommendations
on watering levels, times, and refill rates specific to your
plant’s needs.
