I put in eco-irrigation in less than an hour!!!
>> 11/23/08
No, I'm not an infomercial, or some kind of super caffeinated machine. I found the best mister irrigation system at Lowes for $50. It uses 80% less water than a standard irrigation system and was so easy to install...even a cave man can do it. The whole set up comes with 50ft of black plastic tubing, 5 mister stakes and a bunch of adapters and changeable sprayer heads. You use this little corkscrew tool to puncture the black tubing, then you thread in the mister stakes, attach to your faucet and do a happy dance cause you are done!!! It was way to easy so I thought for sure that it wasn't going to work. It was enough for one side of my yard, for the other site I am going to connect the system to a rain barrel and ad a small pump to get some pressure. Hopefully with this system my garden of death will be no more. You would think being a treehugger in training, I would be good at all this gardening junk, but I am not at all. I can only grow basil and it is pathetic looking, it doesn't look right.
