Irrigation question

12 years ago

I have a 15 X 15 vegetable garden. I retrofitted an inground irrigation riser last year after purchasing a drip irrigation kit. This included a round adaptor that I attached 8 small tubes from and from there placed the tubes by the individual plants. I found this system not very practical as I only had 8 small tubes and 20 tomatoes, cucumbers, etc. What would be a better option for me. If need be, I could post a picture of the current drip irrigation. Thanks for your help. Mike

I'd be glad to help you out. I believe my email shows above. Send me an email. How from the riser are you to the garden bed?

You may want to add more drip line and some emitters or drippers. Porous tubing with pre-drilled holes also works.
