Thanks Hassan, do you have ready with you irrigation system/kit? or you want to be advised on where to source the system/kit?. Nonetheless my advice would be:-
For system- drips system is the first choice I would encourage you to install for it has more advantages e.g 1.Economical interns of amount of water needed,
2.Fertilizer application by fertigation can done hence reduce labour cost
3. Easy weed management since water is precisely dispensed around the root zone while other areas remain dry etc

In relations to whereto source, I refer you to these two companies

1. Sunculture Solar irrigation company
2. The Graduate farmers co.
You can Google and find their location and contacts.

On installation services

the above mentioned companies do have after sales services including installation.

Blessings
