Setting up the automatic watering system for the plants way prior to going on vacation in order to test the system for reliability. Thought I might document the procedure for your entertainment and edification. I also would like your feedback. I envision a three phase rollout of the process supplies and tools used being phase 1.20170506_134224.jpg

Just a thought, I have had better success with stake misters instead of drip emitters. Just much more water and coverage they soak everything instead of just dripping in one area.

I use Maxi-jet misters but Rainbird misters are good too.
