SchmidtGenetics OP ,

Installed the soaker and the city had a main burst, so watering by friggen hand with rain water! For probably another 3-5 weeks too…

It’s a soaker line, soaker line is great for the beds, but not for the pots, even with the soaker line it doesn’t spread out and soak the entire top sometimes either, I could probably do a tighter weave and more lines, but once the roots are established, that’s a non-issue kinda.

So I’m gonna change it up when I’m allowed and some drip lines as well for the pots.

The stuff on the deck is hand water for now, will add a drip system eventually. Play around with the garden one first and go from there. I got lots of random drip line parts from my dabbling in growing cannabis in soil.

Edit, oh and the flower beds are nothing, they usually get hit when I water the grass with the sprinkler, I may do drip in those ones eventually as well, anything I do needs to be able to be pulled out for winter storage unfortunately. So they are hand water right now too…. Ugghh
