Please consider using HDPE pipes - the ones sold in rolls of like 100m. Visit Doshi on Mombasa road.

They are flexible and need very little plumbing. They have a longer useful life - especially if exposed to the sun, they don't break easily. Found them to be at comparable cost to the normal PVC pipes. Make sure you get a plumber who has used them before.


@Mkimwa

Thanks for the information, I am Interested in the same. Do you know of a place I can see HDPE pipes in use?

@all, finally got the HDPE pipes from PipeMania off Mombasa road behind Nice n Lovely. Bought 2 inch at 15k and 1.5 inch at 9k (100m roll)

You can reach them on 0721 240820

Anyone used super moneymaker pump for irrigation? Kindly advice on cost, where to by, performance, lifespan and efficiency.

Ubuntu, did you implement the irrigation system? I am doing one for 3 acres and am looking for material quotations. Which brand of sprinklers are you using and how many horse powers is your pump? If you can provide details please send to bella.tropen@gmail.com. I appreciate all the help I can get.

Subscribed! I am just about to start a farming venture and any and all information is valuable!

I will start a new thread giving my experiences, and share what I learn.

Farming should not be top secret...Kenya needs to feed itself!
