Re: remote spigots
PS: I hook up my remote water lines by running a short hose from the spigot
at the house to the beginning of the line out to the beds. That way I can
disconnect it for the winter, or to use the spigot for something else for a
while. And it saved me lots of fooling around with pipe fittings :).
