I know you need the rain even worse than we do.<BR/><BR/>FC, it's funny, I started to put my camera down on the picnic table just yesterday, then realized that chances were at least 85% that I'd forget and leave it there!<BR/><BR/>Shannon, oh I forgot! That is probably the more longer-lasting solution. :)Ruralityhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06616461213179182660noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10013142.post-90037078185571314892008-07-07T21:42:00.000-05:002008-07-07T21:42:00.000-05:00No,no,no rent heavy equipment.

And then a little sprinkle another day. My in-laws in Cullman got rain 3 days in a row!<BR/><BR/>Pablo, yes it rained right after Hubby installed it. :)<BR/><BR/>Wren, yep!<BR/><BR/>Phillip, my husband found all the piece parts at Lowe's. He used the larger hose (1/2 inch, black) to go up and down the rows. They make this little tool to punch holes in that. Then you run the smaller piece of hose (1/4 inch, tan) over to the plants. There are little nozzles that you use to adjust the drip. If I remember correctly, it was all in the plumbing section. It didn't take him that long to put it all together. But we didn't get enough and will have to go back for more I think.<BR/><BR/>Mark, apparently it only works for a couple of days. :)<BR/><BR/>FTP, yes it appears that we are at the start of another drought. At least we got some good spring rains this year.<BR/><BR/>NCMW, yeah I don't expect it to last long. The pond levels are already soooo low.<BR/><BR/>KF, they were thirsty! No, you must be thinking about someone else... sorry!Ruralityhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06616461213179182660noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10013142.post-4112442073396961432008-07-07T15:28:00.000-05:002008-07-07T15:28:00.000-05:00BTW, I looked for a post I seem to remember you wr...BTW, I looked for a post I seem to remember you writing concerning a varmit that eats parsley...

Not a drop here for ages despite all the recent thunder, dark skies and high winds.No drip irrigation either-badly in need of a new soaker hose, too.
