Christopher Brunsdon Posted October 24, 2016 Share With the new Cape Town water restrictions about to kick in (hard), I've decided to try square foot gardening again this year and incorporate greywater. I'm moving my washing machine to be nearby to my gardening patch and will see what grows. These restrictions where rather unexpected else I would have bought a large JoJo tank earlier this year.

P.A.K. Posted October 26, 2016 Share Gentlemen, I want to set up irrigation for my raised beds. I have 4 raised beds with 8 squares in each. I'm thinking of running a thick pipe in the middle of the bed, with 8 drippers going out of it. Something like in the image. Do you reckon it will be effective? What would I need to build something like this? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
