Meanwhile, the seeds we planted two weeks ago are sprouting! Always an exciting time when that happens. We'll be measuring their growth and comparing notes on whose are growing the fastest, and why that is. And in a few weeks we'll transplant them into our garden beds to see how they fare in the "real world!"
This week our teenage gardeners learned how drip irrigation works. After practicing punching some poly tubing, connecting some emitter line, and mounting both a micro spray and emitter, they were ready to go to the north wing in the garden and replace the perforated emitter line with some micro sprays. We're trying this method because we think the perforated line was not delivering enough water to where it was need most: to the plants. We hope the microsprayers will be a more direct delivery method. The students did a great job with their first irrigation installation, everything works perfectly!

Drip irrigation is a tube system that sends small amounts of water precisely where they are required, avoiding the waste associated with sprinkler systems. By supplying a steady, consistent trickle of water above the soil surface or straight to the root zone, drip systems reduce water runoff, evaporation, and wind drift. In areas where water is scarce, this irrigation system is great for watering plants and crops. Drip irrigation is widespread in large-scale agricultural settings, but it is also popular and very affordable in personal gardens.
