Garden Watering System FARM HOME Miscellaneous Ray Bricker recently sent FARM SHOW photos of the simple low-cost watering system he uses on his raised gardens Raised gardens require a lot of water and I ve tried about every method there is without success I had been using a hose and sprinkler system but I could only water half the garden at a time because there wasn t enough water pressure from the tap water in our house Then my 92-year-old mother suggested I set up a system of soaker hoses which require very low water pressure I now use them on all 5 of my raised gardens The gardens measure 4 ft wide by 10 ft long He cuts 3 soaker hoses the length of each garden and clamps all 3 to a length of pvc pipe at each end of the garden which serves as a return hose to provide even water pressure A shutoff valve is used to set the water pressure Once I use the shut-off valve to set the water pressure I never touch the valve again All I do is turn on the faucet I plan to set the system up on a timer so the water comes on automatically says Bricker Contact: FARM SHOW Followup Raymond Bricker 9656 26th Ave S W Seattle Wash 98106 ph 206 767-7377; raymondbricker@hotmail com
