How to Water a Flower Bed With a Sprinkler System
- 1). Find a sprinkler head that sits nearest the flower bed.
- 2). Dig about 5 inches of dirt around all the edges of the sprinkler head. Clear away the dirt so you can grab the sprinkler head.
- 3). Unscrew the sprinkler head by turning it counterclockwise until it pulls free from the supply line underground.
- 4). Unscrew the small PVC riser in the supply line. It's beneath the sprinkler head.
- 5). Screw a 12-inch PVC riser into the supply line. Turn it clockwise until tight. The elevated position will allow the water to reach the raised flower bed.
- 6). Screw the rotor sprinkler head onto the top of the PVC riser.
- 7). Replace the soil around the base of the new riser.
- 8). Adjust the new sprinkler head so it is aimed at the flower bed. All models are different, but there is often a set screw on the top of the sprinkler that turns to adjust the direction of the spray. If desired, you can set the spray so it hits both the flower bed and the lawn.
