Market Farming

In the past drip tape was used to grow greens in the ground. Last year I started growing herb and bedding plants. They are started in 50 to 250 cell trays then moved into 3.5” to 7” pot depending on the plant. It took 3 hrs to hand water and since I am doubling my production this year, I need a faster way to water. Ebb and Flow bench irrigation would be great but I can not afford it at this time.

Why do you want to use overhead watering in a greenhouse?  Overhead watering be the least efficient way to water.  Ebb and Flow bench irrigation is preferable.  What are you growing?
 
Shawnee, zone 5 and still no frost in North Central Illinois which I would feel better about if I'd anticipated this earlier.

I am about to buy and install an overhead sprinkler system in my greenhouse. Can anyone out there give me any advice? Are there any good web sites that show how to install a sprinkler system?
