RE: Simple Watering Solution For The Garden
My current system uses 1/2 inch PVC water pipe with a 1/16th inch hole drilled in it every 6 inches in a straight line. It works well with gravity feed, but the pipes need to be fairly level or the water all goes to the low end of the pipe... :-)
I wondered about pvc pipe... even with the soaker we get uneven distribution but I took a wide diameter needle to the low end where each plant is and that has solved the problem for now. It’s probably not a forever fix but should help to keep things watered as they should be until we get our ideal system going.
That's actually a pretty good idea for spots on the hose where it's not putting out much water.
