fellow list members,
looking to set up some kind of irrigation system for my patch this year. i
have been
poring over the archives, but haven't come up w/any useful info yet. any
ideas or
sources for info, catalogues, etc. would be greatly appreciated.
i've learned quite a bit from the list over the last 3-4 months.
thank you in advance

I experimented with drip irrigation systems for several years on AG's in the
80's. I found it caused shallow rooting. I would like to try a grid system
of soaker hoses instead, that would deep soak the entire patch. Hope to try
that this year or next.
