We just finished installing two raised beds at Iris's place. One we made from Redwood purchased at Home Depot, the other from scrap wood salvaged in Whittier.
The Box above is the scrap wood box (Two-2"X12"X8'/ Two-2"12"X4/Four-4"x4"x2'). Each box has two 180 degree microsprinkles and a small shutoff valve. When the summer crops come in, the system can be adapted to drip emitters or drip tape.
In each box we planted a polyculture mix of transplanted beets and brassicas (collards, gai-lan), undersown with lettuce, scallions, and carrots.
The redwood box received yesterday the first visitor: a black cat! :))
ReplyDeleteDrip irrigation is one such technology, which has assumed great importance in the recent times. In the present situation when the irrigated area is increasing, ground water table is dwindling and availability of surface water for irrigation is getting reduced, drip irrigation is the only answer to meet the growing demand of water.
ReplyDeleteDrip Irrigation is the most modern technique of applying water directly to the root zone of the plant in right quantity at the right time and at the right place.
