Irrigation
Here I go again, looking to learn from you guy's experience. This isn't exactly a tractor question except in that ever since I got my tiller my planned vegetable garden keeps on getting bigger and bigger. What do you guys with large vegetable gardens do about irrigation? Relying on precipitation isn't really an option during the East Texas summer. I have a water well close to the garden so getting unlimited water isn't really a problem but what kind of system have you used or seen used because hanging on the end of a hose for hours during the summer heat isn't my idea of fun. I intend to set the rows up about 3' apart so I can still get the walk behind tiller between them. At present it is about 7,000 square feet but as I said, it's still growing.

Irrigation
Yea, I think I'll just have to get out the old pencil and paper and see if I can design a system with a timer, PVC pipe and soaker hoses. Should be fun. I could use sprinklers but like you I'd rather put the water where it's needed. The only problem I've found is that during the summer varmits will chew through the soaker hoses to try to get to the water. There has to be a good, efficient way to do this, I just have to give it some more thought.
