Nicaragua

After an April of very long days prepping for a film and a May in Nicaragua working on the film, I'm back in the garden. Before I left, I installed drip hoses on a timer both to conserve water and to ensure there would be a garden when I got back. The project cost about $150 and about 8 hours.

I bought drip hoses for each bed and connected them with parts of regular hoses using hose connectors.

 

There were a few splitters.

 

Unfortunately there is only one faucet on my entire house, so I had to buy a 4-way splitter to run hoses to all the beds in the front and back yard.

I chose the $35 Orbit single-dial timer.  It's been great so far.  Very easy.  Very reliable.  I still have a garden after being gone for a month.  It's weedy, but there is food in it.

Two weeks in LA and then in Seattle for two months for another film. I've got some planting to do.
