Well, found this timber in the shed a couple days ago... I was contemplating the fact that I needed timers for our garden, and the individual ones we had before were getting, well, older.
So here goes nothing. Let's see if it works. More to follow.
Well, today I put the final touches on our irrigation system. In the past I used post mounted sprinklers or drip hoses (regular hoses with holes drilled every couple feet).
This year we're doing BOTH!
For sprinklers we have the cheapest ones they sell at Dollar General. 3 of them. The water pressure here is too low to successfully run all 3 at one time.
For drip hose, we're switching in soaker hoses. We buy the cheap 50 foot ones at Dollar General again. Then we cut them down to 25 foot and cap the end with hose repair parts. Basically, for the price of a 25 foot hose at Lowes or Walmart, we get two.
The soaker hoses are connected to a "manifold system" of pvc pipe.
This all connects to a 4 way splitter. The soaker hoses have a manual timer. The rest have to be switched manually for now.
