Installing Drip Irrigation for an Arborvitae Hedge & Perennial Border!

Описание: Today I'm installing drip irrigation in one of my borders. Along the back of the border I have a row of teeny, tiny 'Thin Man' arborvitae that I just planted a few weeks ago. Along the front of the same bed, I have a perennial border. The drip irrigation is somewhat different in these two areas - for the arbs, I'm using 1/4" drip tubing with emitters 6" apart & I'm targeting the root zone of each tree, while for the perennial border, I'm using the standard 1/2" drip tubing with emitters spaced 18" apart which will water the entire perennial side of the bed.

Correction: The new hole puncher that I purchased (seen @ 12:57) actually DOES fit the 3/4" tubing! I realized later that the blue bit around the opening is an adapter for 1/2" tubing. The adapter is removable so that you can then use the tool for 3/4" tubing.

I get my drip supplies from a couple of different sources:

Where do I garden?? In Southern Ontario, zone 5b! And because zones don’t always tell the full story, my last frost date is May 10th & first frost date is Oct. 3rd.
