Drip Irrigation

When I discovered drip irrigation suddenly my plants were healthier and grew SO much faster. I'm sure it had something to do with the fact that I was so busy playing World of Warcraft and other games I forgot to water them regularly :-)

Now I  have a timer and a fully set up system. Sure I have to modify it a little each year depending on what I planted but there is no more forgetting to water for weeks, or leaving the hose on and flooding the back yard. Although... my timer did malfunction once and flooded the back yard because it never turned the water off.

Here is a little link that might help explain the bits of a drip irrigation system a little. I'll try to find other references. What I did when I first started was grab a free manual in the drip irrigation section of Home Depot.
