Make connections of irrigation lines to water supply provided and install regulator to govern pressures exceeding 15 psi. 8. Conduct testing procedures to verify performance prior to installing growing medium. 9. Add growing media to a depth in accordance with the design plans and specifications. Depths range from 5-1/4 to 8 inches. 10. Add vegetative cover. 11. After all trays have been installed sufficiently water new plugs to ensure growth.
