Backyard Garden Irrigation Guide

The Idra Spike 180 Degree Spray (10 Pack) is the ideal solution for watering garden borders, perimeter plantings, and narrow beds. Featuring a distinctive Blue Cap for easy identification, this adjustable sprayer delivers a 180-degree fan pattern (half circle) that covers the area in front of the head while keeping walkways and fences dry behind it.
Mounted on a sturdy 12-inch stake with an adjustable rigid riser, the Idra Spike gives you complete control over your irrigation. By simply rotating the blue cap, you can fine-tune the flow rate and throw radius to match your plants' growth. Whether you are watering a row of hedges or a flower bed against a house, this spike ensures water goes exactly where it's needed—just remember to install a pressure regulator to prevent misting and ensure consistent performance.

Follow these steps to install your Idra spikes along a border.
Step 1: Lay the Mainline
Run your 1/2" or 3/4" poly tubing mainline along the edge of the garden bed where you intend to place the sprayers.
Step 2: Punch the Hole
Use a 1/4" hole punch to create a clean hole in the mainline tubing at each sprayer location.
Step 3: Connect to Mainline
Insert the transfer barb (located at the end of the sprayer's spaghetti tubing) firmly into the punched hole. You should hear or feel a "snap" when it seats correctly.
Step 4: Place and Adjust
Stake the spike into the ground, ensuring the nozzle is facing away from the path (the flat side of the 180° pattern should be parallel to the border). Turn on the water and twist the blue cap to adjust the throw.
