The mystery of watering my patch???
Hi,
I want to start another veggie patch after moving into a new rental house,
but the BIG mystery to me about growing vegies is getting the watering
right!!!
In my last patch I installed a combination of sprayers and drippers on black
poly pipe running through the vegies. The drippers seemed to do the best
job - wasted less water; didn't water the weeds; didn't cause mildew on the
zuchinis; etc.
However, my concern is that every time I want to re-plant after harvesting,
I would have to re-plant at the same spacing as the drippers I have used
previously! This is obviously difficult if I want to rotate my crops or grow
something of a totally different size!
Considering this, should I just stick to sprayers and spray water over the
whole patch???
What watering methods do YOU use in your patch???
Cheers,
Mick
