Never let your plants get thirsty again!
Do you love gardening but lack the energy for watering all your enthusiastic plant purchases? Are you like me and the phrase "just one more tomato plant, I'm sure I have room for it" haunt you by August? Join us as we explore the wonderful world of creating your own irrigation system. Schedule or manually turn on your spigot and away it goes!
This class has two parts.
In part one we'll cover types of irrigation you can use, the pro's and cons, and what material is ideal. We'll also include some piping best practices and how to prepare your system for winter.
Part two participants are encouraged to bring in their garden layout and start planning their system. We will also be learning how to solder, use some basic piping tools, and making out own manifolds for our irrigation system.
Participants will take home a PVC manifold, if participants would prefer a copper one, please reach out to the instructor at cory.due@tcmaker.org.
Cory Due is an over-enthusiastic gardener who is still learning the meaning of "no we cannot add one more plant to this bed". They are a pipefitter during the day (and sometimes night) and love spending time with their family. Their enthusiasm for food and gardening is only ever tempered by time and space.
