Daniel Bernoulli and I come from the same part of Holland. I studied his theories of fluid dynamics quite some time ago, and they help me to explain blood pressure and heart failure and how to hose down the dog runs and all sorts of things.
So setting up some tubes to water the plants shouldn't be so hard. Yet there were loud pops as covers were blown off, and founts of water gushed onto the sidewalk. Coils of tubing writhed like snakes through the foliage and refused to lay flat.
Today I think I have it, though I understand why Michael said he couldn't set up the drip system until after the plants were in. Much wiser to bring the plants to the water than the reverse, I've discovered. I've got all manner of little tubes and wide tubes and dripper thingies set up at random distances to water all the vegetables I dropped willy-nilly into the ground. Yep, I'm a city girl. Next I'll try to raise rabbits like Jean de Florette.
