Alan, can you please describe your sprinkler set-up in more detail. Does it involve risers and rotating sprinklers or is it a drip line? Thanks.  -John

All my beds are 100ft long, so it's a 100ft long 1inch pvc line (probably a blue line hose) and then every 15 ft or so I have a sprinkler on a riser. I got these from Rainflo Irrigation. They are cheap and on 2 ft long metal rod risers. I may also put drip on a bed but I feel more comfortable with the sprinklers than the drip for germinating small seeds (mustards, lettuce, etc)
