Watering system

[Amigatec]

To expand on this a little. First I use a chlorine filter, I have 60 feet of hose buried from the house to the garden. (I leave this done year around, I buried it so i can mow without having to move the hose, since it is downhill to the garden the water drains out easily in the fall.

When I get to the garden I have a 4-way manifold with 3 timers on it. The first timer is for the soaker hose in the Asparagus bed, and under my Blackberries. The next 2 timers control the water to east and west ends of the garden. The filter restricts the water flow so I had use to 2 timers set at different times to water the main garden. On the fourth connection I have a "Y" with one 100' hose going to the patch, and the other connection for hand watering one of my raised beds, (I may add a timer to it as well).

At the patch I have a multi-function timer to control both tripods there and an extra connection for hand watering my raised Garlic beds. I have almost all connections on quick disconnects for easy adding and changing hoses. I sometimes add a fertilizer inject or my little syphoner to the system.

When it all works right it is great.
