Market Farming

[Robert Schuler <sunnfarm AT verizon.net>]

In my greenhouses I water pots with Chapin drip tubes. I run a 3/4" pe pipe 
down the bench and insert pre made drip emmiters into the pe pipe than place 
the other end which has a small weight on it into the top of each pot. This 
system has beed around for 40 years and works well. With 4" pots I have 
watering trays that hold 6 - 4" pots on spacing within the tray and I only 
have to get water into the tray and the pots absorb water from the bottom...

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