been trying to figure out why the irrigation system hadn’t been working properly…
no matter what I tried it kept sending water over the waterfall and nearly into the cushions on my chair…
we discovered that some of the smaller rubber tubes had been cut… possibly by bunny teeth;-)…
we were able to fix a few, but needed more tubing…
went to Lee Valley and picked up another of the systems so that it can also water the vegetable garden…
laid the main hose out in the sun to soften the curves and then stretched it out to see if it would go where I wanted it… looked like it would work fine…
we attached the new unit to the end of the main line so that it could send water to either the garden beds or the veggie section…
then the main hose was dug into the ground between the connection point and the veggie garden…
the hose was run along the back of the planters, holes were punched into it, the watering heads were added to each of the pots… another hole was made leading to the file cabinet planter and then the last bits were added…
it works perfectly and I am absolutely thrilled with the outcome;-)…
hmmm, wonder if we can figure out how to deal with the pots around the deck and in the centre of the garden🤪…
