Michelle and I installed a drip system today. Its immensely satisfying to have a highly efficient system for watering the flower beds. However, my fingers and thumbs are numb from punching holes in the 1/2″ hose. Hopefully by next year the flower beds will have overgrown the hoses, and the yard will be a wonderfully full and luscious environ. We’ll see.

Just curious . . . why didn’t you install a soaker hose instead of punching the holes yourself?
Huh huh. You said luscious.
Soakers are so inexact. This way not a drop is shed in unused soil. Well, except the front. A soaker hose might have been a better temporary solution up there. But where’s the fun in that?
Cool. So do we get to see any pictures of your handy work?
There’s some in the Friends, Jobs, Portland gallery.
