Hello:
I'm still in catch up mode so here is a quick post to show the drip irrigation that I began installing back on March 12th and 13th, according to the date stamp on the photos.
Last year I used individual emitters that put out 1 gallon per hour. With those I manually put the emitters in the main feeder lines at the base of each plant or used individual inline drippers in 1/4 inch lines. That was a big ordeal in cutting the line inserting the dripper then adding more line, cutting...lots of work on my tired old hands. This year I am mostly using 1/4 inch line with 1/2 gal emitters built into the line every 6 inches. This is not as efficient but worth the work savings.
This is the drip lines in the sweet peas on the right and my lettuce on the left.

I love the nice dry paths.

Thats all for today.
