I somehow don't think that a drip system will work for a vegetable garden maybe a pop up sprinkler system but I still think Betsy's idea of a timer with a directional valve will work just fine and is cost effective.

Depends on where you live, in the US, you can go to Lowes or any major hardware store, you can also get timers there as well. You can also go to http://www.orbitonline.com An underground one would use the same type of weeping hose that Dale was speaking of, but would be completely underground, and you would not have to worry about turning on the hose and such. The hoses would not be laying around for a person to trip over. Depending on the size of your garden, it probably wouldn't cost very much to do. I did my entire yard a few years ago for less than 1200 bucks. _____ From: blindhandyman@yahoogroups.com [mailto:blindhandy...@yahoogroups.com] On Behalf Of RiverWind Sent: Tuesday, March 10, 2009 10:11 PM To: Blind Handymen's Forum Subject: Re: [BlindHandyMan] Watering a large Garden with water pressure issues Greetings, I first off want to thank everyone who has responded so far. I have several good suggestions to pursue here. I can get a larger diameter hose, buy seeping hoses and bury them where needed, find an underground system or get a timer. I have a couple of questions. I have never heard of an "underground system." How do they work, and how common might they be to find? I am likewise curious about the timing device that will turn my sprinklers on and off in the pattern I specify. Frankly I have never even heard of such a timer. Needless to say, my interest is definitely sparked.
