Over the winter I grew lettuce and such which required a lot of watering. On my lot, watering the garden pretty much means watering the lawn, which is only allowed twice a week. And to be honest, I didn't do a very good job keeping things wet.

This week I completed the new sprinkler project, burying PVC running to the raised beds and into the corners of the yard where I have bananas, where it converts to 1/2" poly tubing. So far I just have a few drippers installed for the bananas, but now that it's all set up and connected with it's own zone to the automated sprinkler system it's simple to add drippers wherever I need to water.

Just in time for the rainy season.

I'll probably run some more PVC for another "irrigation" project once I finish the testing phase. This picture shows the fence the squirrels use to get from my neighbor's tree (aka "home") to MY tomatoes.

(It's a motion sensitive sprinkler with a three second burst).
