June - 1st week

Irrigation
The winter squash field will get irrigation first. They are tender little plants ready to go out... cucurbits like their water so we plan on giving them a happy home to transition to from the greenhouse.


Here's the PLAN:
Fields A, B, C, D, and E this year.















Here's the Supplies. I really do know where everything goes.









Step One: Plumbers Tape on everything. This is the beginning of the feed. You can't underestimate the value of putting plumber's tape on everything.















The Single Farmer's Drip Tape Dispensing Tool: This is model number one. After using it on two 300' beds, which worked wonderfully, the structural integrity was compromised. I was too excited to get that drip tape on the field. Back to construction and I reinforced model number 2. That one did fine for another nine beds. That took me to the end of the day. More pics on model 2 to come. We'll be giving the tomatoes some drip too.












Water in the Lines! That was the goal.
