Rainwater drip irrigation system

Step 7: Time to water the plants!

The dripper is installed on either side of the plants to be watered, with the holes on the bottom. Connect the hose to your rain barrel (as long as the rain barrel is higher than the garden) and open the valve...you're plants will thank you!

Sorry...in Step 7, I meant "YOUR plants will thank you"...not "YOU'RE plants will thank you"

As the author of the article, can't you simply correct it?

Very cool instructable. Great idea using things we usually keep around the house (having a well instead of city water and living in a VERY rural area teaches you that its cheaper to have some extra pvc and connectors on-hand than to drive 30 miles for a 15 cent part!) Thanks for a great idea and a well written/documented project!

Great concept. An alternative idea, would to replace the piping with offcuts of hose pipes to allow more movement around plants.
