This sounds reasonable.

Part of the problem is that the wife took over my kitchen-compost
spot, so now, she "owns" this garden (and she has forbidden me to
enter
it because she feels I end up ruining everything I touch).

At the moment, I've flooded her tomatoes, and, I've tried to save
all the tiny 6-inch oaks which, in the end, infuriated her because
that meant I ended up digging up more of her young tomatoes.

I've never done "drip" irrigation, so, I'm not sure what's the
*right* way to irrigate her tomatoes (and present it as a surprise
to her, all done and working).

I *think* my options a
a. Garden hose soaker
b. Poly irrigation
c. A sprinkler pop-up head

For tomatoes I've always liked using these sprinklers because they
are adjustable:

It's attached to a 1/4 inch water tubing that is fed via the 1/2
inch main line tubing. The heads on it turn to allow more or less
water to drip or sprinkle. I use one per bit planter, or 1 between
2 tomato plants.

Hey, you could kill vampires with one of those and wash the ashes away
at the same time. ^_^

TDD

.... and fertilize your tomatoes with the same ashes, too!
