Hi,

I want to install an underground drip irrigation system for a small
(2.7m x 3.7m) patch of turf

Can anyone advise me how I would go about this / where to purchase
parts

TIA

There is a subsurface irrigation pipe made by Netafim designed to be
installed under lawns etc to quote from their web site

"Netafim's UniRam dripline was developed specifically for use in
Subsurface applications. It has been designed to withstand the harsh
conditions of placing irrigation under ground"
the web address is  http://www.netafim.com.au/index.php?sectionidy

I have been using their miniscape drip irrigation for several years
and find it fantastic for my  vegetable garden
I live in rural WA and get it supplied by a local company, but I have
seen it sold by a number of garden irrigation shops in Perth so assume
you would be able to get it anywhere in Australia.
The WA government also gave a rebate on the product ( and others)
under its Waterwise program - don't know if it still does. Check out
its web site at
