But, it was much easier than I expected it to be. I am now making plans to put this system in another area of my garden. It really does make life easier!

I am lax on watering and my plants do get a bit fried, but if I had irrigation installed like my clients do, I would probably use it far too much out of convenience. I could get it free too from one of my installers, but having a tiny property does have its advantages in the maintenance department.

My emitters are Shrubblers from Dripworks ... they look like tiny sprinkler heads. You're right, the hardest part of doing this is designing the system (which is only hard the first time you do it) and making sure you have all the parts you need. There's no way I could garden on the scale that I do without this system. <br /><br />Connie in Hartwoodhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09127877285792861166noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7485248345006754419.post-52960671433779650982011-07-29T06:27:45.485-07:002011-07-29T06:27:45.485-07:00Looks interesting.
