Opening up a package of irrigation freedom - DRIP TAPE!

If someone had mentioned "drip tape" to me a year ago, I would have said, "DRIP WHAT?" Now that we have started a farm, drip tape has become our most recent investment and vital component to our farm.

Practically speaking, using a hose to spray a quarter acre of land could take forever! With the drip tape, we are able to to water the soil around the plants by turning on the faucet for a half an hour and not have our hands tied up with the hose sprayer. Also, we are able to set a timer to water our plants when we are not able to get to the farm. Basically, it means that we will have wonderful irrigation freedom! If we can feed our vegetable plants and keep them happy, we will hopefully have healthy and beautiful vegetables to sell at farmer's markets in the future.

We were completely satisfied with our purchase of our drip tape kit at Drip Depot and would recommend it to anyone interested. It was easy to customize and purchase our kit. When we received our purchase, they even sent two Tootsie Roll Pops as a thank you for our order. :) The online store offers videos that help with visually understanding how to set up the system. When we got into the field on Sunday, it took Damian only a few hours to set up our irrigation system that we will use for years to come! Irrigation systems are cool!

I love getting huge packages delivered!
