Nobody Likes a Dry Garden

As I thought of a blog to post I remembered the class discussion on how we can prevent our class garden from drying out. So I researched ways to produce a drip irrigation system that will be cost efficient and can be made by hand. There are multiple ways of going about making a drip irrigation system. You can use an old watering hose, PVC pipe, or plastic bottles. The PVC pipe and the watering hose are mostly used for larger gardens and will require access to an outdoor spigot (faucet). However, the water bottle will be easy to use for our small plots.

Here are some How to website to help with more ideas or a continuation on the use of this drip irrigation system.
