Drip irrigation system


With the hot California summer quickly approaching, I got my drip irrigation system set up in the front.   The total cost of the system was about $100, but is working to water about 25 potted plants, and three beds.  Plus I have enough supplies to set up the backyard for only the cost of timers, which were $30 a piece.   The hardest part of setting up a drip system is punching those dang holes in the main tubing.  It takes a lot of elbow grease and my thumbs were wrecked for a day, but now I don't have to worry about any watering in the front of the house!

Here is a useful website which helped me get started:

Ok, so it is long, but this link will take you there.
