Welcome back to another episode here on the Epic Gardening podcast in studio with the Garden Hermit Jock.

Hey, how's it going?

It's going well, it's been a while since we've done this shock.

Today, we are going to talk about something that we seem to talk about a lot.

We're really obsessed with irrigation, maybe more than any other gardeners I've known,

but it has saved a lot of time here at my house as well as it sounds like you're doing some

new stuff. So why don't you start off?

Yeah, so I mean, I've had some irrigation in place across my garden because obviously once you

start hand watering your whole garden, you quickly realize how much time it actually takes to

water everything. And while it's really fun to hand water and you learn a lot of things about

your garden while you're doing it, it also, in those moments where you can't spend the time to hand

water the garden really suffers. So I have a couple different irrigation setups across my

garden that mostly involve plugging a hose into some drip line and running it that way,

which has been working really well. But now that I have multiple spaces, I really need to set up

something more robust. So I'm actually looking into, well, not looking into, I'm planning on

installing this probably next week or so, a full irrigation hooked up to PVC with multiple

different zones, but I'm going to do it without wiring it to like a control panel using

solenoid valves and all sorts of things like that. So that's kind of like my main crux right

now is how do I irrigate everything without setting up electrical? And I think I figured it out.

So we're going to be adding irrigation to raise beds, my in-ground garden, and I'm going to be

mostly using drip tubing instead of tape. And I know that you like using tape a lot in your garden.

Yeah, well, the first thing we did, we've probably spoken about it before, is we did have PVC plumbed
