Garden Updates

Hi everyone! Since many of you are new and have questions about the irrigation system and the watering of your plot, here is how it works:

• Every bed has 1/4" driplines that water your plot

• The driplines are connected to 3 pumps near the front of the garden

• The pumps are timed to active at 1) 6:30am and 2) 8pm every day, and to run for 30 minutes each time

• We will turn off the pumps in times of extended/significant rain (like we've had this week)

• We will adjust the run times/durations during the summer months as the weather gets hotter

All this is to say - if you see the beds drying out and the plants starting to wilt, let us know and we can adjust the timing. Sometimes the soil underneath the surface remains damp, which encourages your plants to stretch their roots further down. That is a good thing!

In addition, please let us know ASAP if 1) you see any damage to driplines (tools/critters can break the lines pretty easily), as well as 2) you see the pump batteries running out (you'll know if the time display is wrong). If you see something, say something! 😊
