First Time Dripper

9 years ago

Hi all, I am new to gardening and have a raised bed with some dwarf trees, veggies and large flowers. Hand watering is becoming a pain and I can't seem to get the formula right for how much and when to deliver water to my plants.

I am thinking a drip will be the best system? What are the advantages and is it the best way to irrigate? Is is simple enough for me to do myself or am I best off hiring a gardener who can do the initial set up for me?

THANK YOU KINDLY FOR YOUR INPUT.

You would simplify setting up a system if you have only one kind of plants in a bed. That is, only trees or only vegetables.
