Good info indeed.

I have used drip irrigation on a raised garden for a few seasons; I find it very efficient as it wastes practically no water.

My set-up uses flexible hoses instead of PVC because I wanted to have the ability to move the lines any-place any-time, but otherwise is the same concept.

I have 4 controlled zones that I have automated, and are programmable depending on what I want to grow.

Looking forward to nice tomatoes in a few months!

I like the flex hose as well. it needs to be mulched to protect from uv rays. my early basil is up, (indoor greenhouse) and I will plant a few tomato seeds next week for early harvest. Here in central n y winter came early last fall...10/27 was our first snow. We have pretty much hit the wall for tolerance.
