Wondering how much water the Garden Grid™ uses? We’ve got you covered! In this article, you’ll learn:
- How to adjust water flow for your Garden Grid™.
- The gallons-per-minute (GPM) output for each size.
- Tips for using a garden hose or rain barrel with your Garden Grid™.
Let’s get started!
What's The Garden Grids™ Water Output?
Answer: It depends! One of the standout features of the Garden Grid™ is its customizable watering options. You can easily adjust the streams from gentle drip irrigation to full-stream watering based on your garden's needs.
For example, one of our most popular sizes, the 4x4 Garden Grid™, running at moderate water stream strength, outputs approximately 1–1.13 gallons per minute (GPM). 💧 Check out the image below for a visual of moderate-strength streams in action!
How to Adjust Your Garden Grid's™ Water Streams
Controlling the water output is easy and can be done in several ways:
- Using your garden hose spigot: Simply adjust the spigot to increase or decrease the flow.
- Adding a water flow valve: Attach a valve right to the Garden Grid's white hose connector for quick and convenient control right at your garden. Find our valves here
- Using a Garden Grid™ Manifold: If your garden bed is taller than 12" or you're connecting multiple Garden Grids™, use the Manifold. It has built-in valves that make it simple to control flow to each Garden Grid™ individually. Find the Garden Grid™ Manifold w/ an explainer video here.
Most gardeners supply water to their Garden Grid™ using a standard garden hose and spigot. However, some people do use rain barrels instead. For tips and recommendations on using a rain barrel, and the PSI needed, click here.
