Since we both work and don’t have all the time in the world we are thinking of integrating a drip irrigation system into the raised beds. A company which is very big here in Germany has the perfect system which comes in many different modules one can piece together. The Gardena Microdrip system is what we need.
Originally we didn’t intend to put this in just yet, but since we already need to dig up most of the yard anyway, we might as well lay the pipe now when we get going.
I am not sure if they sell their products in the US, but we will definitely need to get some of those modules when we hit the home improvement store tomorrow.
