Thank You, Patty! I’m just getng into home gardening, and ALL of this, is a great help to me!! If more people would do simple things like this, we would ALL be better off!
if you watched the video, you’d know the answer. lol but anyway, you can go to walmart & buy all the stuff you need. she said hers costed under 200 dollars.. it may be less at walmart or a garden center like lowes or whatever.
I made things called dripper trackers for solar cooking.
(I invented them)
I think they could be adapted for slow watering of plants.
Its very low tech and might appeal to some people.
dripper trackers are on youtube too.

We installed drip irrigation three years ago and every night when I feed the rabbits I water our veg garden, a few minutes on each side. Simple and WORTH IT!
The water spreads to the surrounding dirt out of the 6″ slits in the tiny hose and all the plants in the area get watered. Be sure to clean your filters regularly – especially if you have well water.
Between the rabbit manure and the drip irrigation we have a huge healthy crop that feeds our neighbors as well as our family. Georgia
Great vid! Thanks for sending this. I’m a first year gardener. Having reasonable sucess against pests. I’m getting salad mix once a week. Also squash. Tomatoes comming along with a few ripe ones so far. Watering though is a real bearcat. It’s a real dry area so I have to water twice a day.I probably will install a drip system. I’ll mark dripworks to my favorites. Again thanks! Harlan.
