Keeping plants well-watered and thriving can be a time consuming chore, but a do-it-yourself watering system is economical, saves on your water bill, and leaves more time for you to enjoy the hard work you've put into the garden.
For this project, we will put together and install an irrigation system for an eight foot by ten foot garden using soaker hoses, a manifold, and a timer.
When to Install a Garden Irrigation System
You can install soaker hoses either before or after planting. Depending on your soil type, the hoses will deliver water to an area between one and three feet with clay soil holding the greatest amount of moisture and sandy soil the least amount. In either case, take time to create and work from a garden layout. Remember to mark seeded rows and beds so you know where to place the hoses.
