Veggie garden irrigation addition

· Garden Plumbing · Veggie Garden

The other day I noticed that the soaker hose for one of the beds in the veggie garden had burst, as they are wont to do:

So on Saturday I replaced that hose with better irrigation, like I did earlier for a couple of other beds:

There is now one bed remaining with a soaker hose in the main part of the veggie garden, plus the ones in the berry cage. I’ll replace those over time when their soaker hoses fail. We’re slowly phasing out the soaker hoses; irrigation tubing and emitters work much better, as they are more reliable, and the irrigation can be more focused and adjustable as needed.
