The soaker hose works REALLY well.... you can set it up as drip irrigation.
now that is a new feature? click on the photo and no scrolling needed, click again and back to viewing size, sweet
Unfortunately due to high elevation, short growing season and wild critters, my garden is but limited.
But I'll trade you for beef, tibetan yak, lamb or chicken meat....

"Damn it, I should have listened to Crier.... that bastard is brilliantly gifted with "supernatural common sense."
I put a 5' x 10' raised bed garden in this year as a test plot. Plumbing the waters on a number of levels. No interest from the authorities and no intrusion from passers by. Plus it's doing quite well. So far so good.
Hey, just curious what you meant by plumbing... do you have any pics?
we're starting to dig some holes next week as we are on a steep incline and have to build staggered planter boxes and we will be using permaculture techniques such as gravity fed watering from the roof etc.
Also, at our last place, we built up the flower beds 2-3 feet with 24" of that being topsoil and sheep manure etc. I put a soaker hose in at 6" depth and it too worked like a charm. (as long as we remembered to turn it back off...) 😳
LOL....sorry... "Plumbing the waters"... testing the waters. I built it in my front yard so wanted to see the reaction both official and unofficial. I have the soaker hose on top of the soil between rows and the flow is set to just drip irrigate. It keeps it moist but not wet. That way I don't have to worry about turning it on or off.
ngphool...Thought I'd post it here in case you forgot... grandmananners..my you tube channel watch the 5 short videos of my garden and the 4/5th show the watering system I use also
thanks,
i'll check it out from home. Just on a lunch break at the moment.
