Simple Soaker

Pardon this gardener, but where are the April showers????  We haven't had any significant rain in over two weeks and this makes me think of irrigation.  Several Summers ago my wonderful and very practical husband came across this product by Nelson called The Simple Soaker.  It is a do it yourself irrigation kit that hooks up to your garden hose.  Each kit contains 50' of black plastic tubing and 5 sprinkle heads.  You run the tubing through your garden beds and you decide where the sprinkle heads go.  You have two heights to choose from.   You should be able to see from the picture at the left, it shows a sprinkler head on an 8" stem and then one at the lower setting.  It is a fabulous system.  You can hook it up to timers so that it will water for you while you are out of town.  The best part is that each kit costs less than $30.  Check it out on line at Nelson by Googling or Binging Simple Soaker.

Good Luck and Happy Gardening!!!
