Kind words Sownseeds, TY.

We do like living here but sometimes can be overwhelming to maintain, I try andkeep it clean of junk so mowing and weed trimming is keep to a minimum.

Thanks
Wow Bill you must have dug deep to find this old thread. lol
Until this year I purchased all of my seed. The raised beds are for the higher demand and special exotic varieties, Not enough time in my life to start tenting things off if you know what I mean. 2000 plus plants can eat your summer and leave you wondering if you had one. :banghead:

Your welcome my pleasure.

Nothing but SWEEEEEEEEEET You are doing a fantastic job, very planed out. I have a question about your raised beds. What size is the tubing and do you have extra drainage holes on the inside of the tubing for watering also? I work at a gas pipe manufacturing plant and I love to try to make me a few of them. You have a fantastic set up I salute you.

Thanks OJ

The 3 inch PVC tubing were from the inside of massive rolls of paper schl. 40 or more but inconsistent in thickness. No holes in the inside, I fill them with water in the spring; the sun heats the tubing and intern the water helping to maintain temps at night, here is a link to another thread, on the first post click ........"my link" ..........and you will find a pictorial of the project.

Cheers, SC

Hey TFM when you get a chance would you mind sharing some of that weather your having right now, bur its cold here. :violin:

I'm assuming that you are talking about the big totes in the pics below, well I just top water with them, this year I will be going with drip tape in the big garden, but have yet to figure out a way to auto water the raised beds that is both economical and cosmetically pleasing.

I dropped in a blow up pic of the back of the wagon, there you can see wrapped around the back the hose which is attached to both tanks, sitting on top the hose you can see a 4ft wand that controlled by a ball valve, Not as much pressure as would like, maybe 5gpm if the tanks are full.

I hope that answered you Q. thanks SC
 
im not sure it might have answered my question. for the round beds made of pipe i can see how that works, you squirt the peppers and they get wet. i'm still trying to work out how you water the big long beds with the black plastic on them with out the water just running off?
 
When the plants are small I just use the wand to water through the same hole they were planted in and when they get larger I just poke the wand threw the plastic mulch and let the water run underneath. works very well but time consuming for sure.
