Looking forward to your irrigation video, just doing my balcony now. Do you know and good forums for asking drip irrigation questions?

Really looking good there. I noticed at the very begining there that you seem to have a bit of MOs natural building material about. My mother used to turn every rock she found to the task of making stone borders for garden beds.

Thanks for the nice comments...it's a work in progress. I started with 3 raised beds 8 years ago and have a goal of 40 beds by the time I retire in 9 years. I'm at 19 beds now and add 2-3 beds a year. As for the rock walls...yes, tons of limestone rocks all over the property...except in the garden area...makes for easy tilling!

Nice video of your gardens. Did you film that with a camcorder or did you use a phone? I would love to have the room to have that many raised beds.Great work. Barry

Enjoyed the drip video, I'm just in the process of hooking mine up, if it would ever stop raining long enough to go outside.

Did you have to do anything at all unusual for any specific plants or locations that required any sort of unusual configuration? I'm experimenting a bit with things like taking a regular length of 1/4" line and manually poking holes every 1/2 to 1 inch to water the length of a window box, would be interested if you've ever had to get inventive.

Creative...hmm...I guess not. I used to run the lines across the top of the beds from bed to bed and then had to step up and over the lines...tripping was a hazard! By using the 90 degree connectors, I eliminated that problem and have a much cleaner look.
