Gardening Diary – April 9, 2021

Straw bale beds #1-4

Picture taken on April 9, 2021.

Installed a 50 ft drip hose that was purchased from Amazon. Unfortunately, it was about 1 bale short. Thus, added a Mister Landscape hose to cover that bale.

Straw bale beds #7-8

Installed a 25 ft drip hose on straw bale beds #7-8. The hose is suspended between the back of the beds; will have to do some to do something to avoid the loss of water. Again, the hose did not cover 1 of the bales.
