Week 3 (part two) - ...In With the New

Time in: 5pm
Time out: 7pm

After a bit of browsing around a couple of garden centers and contemplating about what the most economical and efficient way to readjust the watering supply would be, I came up with the idea to remove the center stone of the plot and put a full circle rotary adjustable sprinkler in its place. I rerouted the mainline from the pre-existing drip system to the sprinkler. I then capped off the drip system but kept it in place for future use.

The sprinkler head had successful results with water coverage for the entire plot. The next challenge I face, however, is making sure the water will sufficiently permeate the soil, all the way down to root level.

Now that the water source is set, the next step is to sow the seeds! Unfortunately, I didn't have the time to get a thorough till in before the sun set and I had to go back home. So I will leave this task for next week!
