Squash Bed Now Fenced and Drip Irrigation Installed. 5.31.22

 Not much to look at, but with the drip irrigation my water hauling labor in the hot sun has been cut in half.  Deer usually don't try to cross this fencing.  For the squashes, I used 1 gal/hr emitters.  Last year I gave each squash plant about a gallon per day during hot dry weather, so it's easy to calculate they will need one hour of drip irrigation per day.


I had to install a new T-junction and shut-off valve.   The old ones were cracked and leaky. The rest was easier.
