At last, the waterline is finished



The water line has been ran all the way out to the farthest corner of the largest raised bed, and a 50 ft. garden hose will be all that's needed to water it, the 4x9 raised bed by the blackberry patch, all of the swc's, and the entire orchard. Hopefully the totes will get filled a couple of times over the winter months, because I'd like to flush everything out really well.

In other news, my 20 year-old son that I haven't seen in 6 months came to visit, and we ate some good food and watched my Auburn Tigers beat Florida in a really good game. War Eagle!

I bet you are glad to have the waterline project complete. It would be good to be able to do a test run to see how much water pressure you will have.

It sounds like you had a nice visit with your son :)

Any plans to incorporate drip irrigation and a timer?

Petecorp - no, I'll just be using a hose connected to the spigot, because I enjoy interaction with the plants.
