If you have been following me for a while, you know that I have big stock tanks behind my shed that I grow stuff in. I have had trouble keeping it watered sufficiently in the summer and stuff has really struggled. So I asked my husband if he could take the tubing from the sprinkler head that we took out when we added the concrete around the shed, and use it to bring water to all my stock tanks.
He had a little trouble figuring out how to tap into the tubing because it’s an odd size.
He brought the tubing up the corner of the shed.
Then he ran little sprinklers in each tank and connected them all together along the front edge.
He fashioned some stakes out of pressure treated wood to hold the tubing in place.
Everything is growing so well in the stock tanks this year.
We have tomatoes and cucumbers growing on the south side of the house, and the sprinkler system gets the front row of plants pretty well, but doesn’t get the back row. So my husband tapped into the spigot that is part of the sprinkler system and put together a similar set-up for these plants as he did for the stock tanks.
He ran one line between the two rows of tomatoes and where the cucumbers and poblano peppers (still really tiny) are growing).
He also ran some lines and heads in the cutting garden, but those are pretty hard to see in photos, and I am pretty sure that you have the gist of it.
Of course, it’s been raining a lot since a few days after he got this finished, but we did run it several days to catch everything up because it had been really dry here.
I’m really thankful that he did all of this because it will save me so much time watering everything.

The plants are looking healthy. Good eating.
