<< Well you might try a modified drip system with the 40 gal drum. Drill a
hole in the side at the bottom, go the the hardware store and find some
plastic fittings to screw into the drum so you can attach a rubber tubing
to it. Run the tubing around the area to water/fertilize and punch small
holes in the tubing. Cover with mulch so evap. is lessened.
Fill the drum with gray water and miracid or whatever and go to it. If
you want to be fancy - buy a small faucet to control the speed of drip
and also plug the drum up to catch the rain water.
To get REALLY fancy - put this on a dolly with a handle so you can roll
it around the garden.

I have the drum, the dolly and the mulch but haven't gotten around to the
faucet yet. Cool idea. Since all of my iris except the LA's are already on
a drip system (which I love) this would help here as well
Thanks, (I love this place)
