Irrigation

As we have created new garden beds, we've been confronted with the challenge of finding the most efficient, most convenient, and most plant-friendly system for keeping it all irrigated. We did have systems in place when we lived here before, but only some of it is functional. All of it is in need of repair and upgrading. We are learning that some watering zones have pop-up and sprinklers paired together in ways that don't work anymore. We are trying to modify what is there to suit our current needs, knowing we need to totally upgrade the whole picture. Aiyahh! Time to call in an expert!


Here's one example of a modification we've made: changing a single sprinkler head to also have a faucet that we can attach a hose to. This one has been a bugger because it kept springing a leak. We'll bury the line once we know it's good.
