Micro-Irrigation
If you look real close, you can see the micro irrigation at work. There are three mini-sprinklers spaced down the center of the bed. Each mini-sprinkler is individually (and easily) adjustable to water a circle sized from one to five or six feet in diameter. The whole system is on a user-friendly timer, so no worrying about not watering seeds enough or accidentally killing your starts because you ran out of time to water before rushing to work. Some folks scoff a bit at micro irrigation as "whistles and bells", but the truth of the matter is that micro-irrigation is extremely practical. I can't say how many plants and seeds I've killed by forgetting to water (and this is my business!). Micro-irrigation: affordable, convenient, helps you grow food for self and neighbor. If you have questions about micro-irrigation for food gardens, send me an email. Or, talk to the folks that know all the ends and outs: Just Fruits.
