New England outdoors 2016

You guys are giving me some ideas for water this year. I'm used to growing beside the river so no hauling water. I'm growing in totally new territory this year though. My nearest water source is roughly 200ft away.

200ft up or down

200ft straight across a field, then up a slight 3ft slope. I'll be growing on top of a dirt mound that is roughly 3ft high.

I think I'll be getting a rig like Marcos!

And that was like my old spot man! Very hard to get to. I'm moving out to the farm this year. I live in the flat lands, not many hills around here. A Pipe line runs through the farm land and they do a weekly fly over to check for leaks. I'm going to mark down when they do flyovers, so hopefully they do not see me while tending the crop..

Ok, I have a quick question. I'm assuming you are using a larger gauge hose running
from your pump and running into smaller gauge hoses for individual plants. How do
you reduce the water pressure that results from running into those smaller hoses?

Dang I'm spoiled....I just had to move some hoses around my totally level backyard lol

They are just hd regular hoses. Have almost 400 ft spread out in different locations.

So you don't use smaller hoses to different plants? Do you bury the ends into your
medium or just let it run over the top? With a pump I would think it would come
out pretty strong and wash away some of your medium.

By the time I drag the hoses all over the place i just water them,lol.also by then on that end of hose it's not super strong pressure.
