Yes, Melanie, I do! Since this was the first year I just ran the drip line under the front porch door and taped it into place using duct tape that matched the color of my house. Next year I’ll probably install a channel (similar to what people use for hiding wires) under the door and paint it to match.

Hey Stefan, Yes I believe it would work for in ground garden beds, or raised beds, or anywhere you need watering. What I’d really like is for there to be a moisture meter component so that the system would slow down watering if the soil began to get too saturated. Or maybe that’s a thing? I haven’t been able to find it, but I think it would really round out the system.

I do leave our sprinklers out in the yard all the time, and then just move them out of the way to mow. In the backyard we have a larger swath of lawn and the flower gardens on either side, so I use the oscillating sprinkler to reach the entire yard and gardens. In the front, I use two “spinner” sprinklers (which I added to the “smart watering must haves” above). Our front lawn is made up of two sections divided by our front walkway, the sprinklers can be connected so I run a hose between the two sprinklers and they go on at the same time. The second sprinkler down the hose line doesn’t get as much water to it, but it’s enough for the lawn to get watered and I don’t have to worry about watering the sidewalk. It’s my poor-(wo)man’s irrigation system.

Oh my god. I had no idea. It’s so cute!
