I have a 25'x25' small vegetable garden and thinking of adding one of those drip irrigation systems. Is there anyone that has tried this or that has any experience with it?

Thank you very much!

Hook your drip irrigation system to the rain barrel that collects rainwater from your downspouts and gutters, and you'll have a great plan. You can purchase an irrigation kit to get you started. Make sure it is one that can be expanded up so you can add new lines as your garden grows. You can build your own with tubing, fittings, valves, etc. The system does not have to be buried. Talk with folks at local garden centers.

Sorry I have had sickness here and have not been online.

Thanks for the reply. I have talked to several vendors and there are a lot of good ideas.

Thanks again and have a nice summer!
