Plumbers always over engineering shit; get back to the land brah.

Connect to hose bib or Y connector: 98 cents
compression fit water line, 100ft $12, fits into above fitting

hose end cap, compression, 60 cents

then there are drip emitters and/or sprayers under $1.00

all under a total of $20

lol.. i was trying to hook her up so she'd have another faucet that would last a good 5-10 years easily... also keep it hidden (burried).. i figure a seperate valve just for the garden would be pretty helpful

If she gets serious and does it every year, and expands yeah a perm set up is better.

my set up is pretty cheap too.. the most expensive thing is that crimp tool.. like 20 bucks, but im sure you can find one cheaper.. itll be like 50 bucks for it all. if you called a plumber itd be like 200 or more.. id probably be right around $300 if i set it up the way i said.. with the digging and shit

Those used to be cheap and available around here. Now they are neither. But a great way to build a raised bed; just add lag screws and Bob's yer uncle

Lag screws? Should I use pressure treated lumber or something special?

If you decide to go for a railroad tie raised bed, make sure to line it with 3mil poly before you load it with soil. The creosote sealant they use to treat the ties is toxic. Learned that one the hard way.

Sheesh... lots of reading I need to do. LolI don't wanna use wood that will poison my baby plants..

You need to use more imagination.

People have posted pics of male and female glory shots.

So I have been reading and I think we will be using straw as a mulch. It provides a dry surface up top for fruits to rest and locks the moisture underneath. Also reduces soil disturbance.

Make sure it doesn't have any seed in it. We used a bail of wheat straw and it pretty much seeded our garden. Had to till it all in and kill the seedlings.

This one box FP, you should have plants with similar water reqs

I am finding that pressure-treated wood releases some of its copper and arsenic to the soil. They do not agree on whether it is a significant amount. So I counsel caution, since I am sue you want to share the produce with your child.
So while untreated wood doesn't last as long as treated, it is far more in line with a clean, organic garden approach.

As for railroad ties, I found that they aren't legal ...

Attribution? LOL

Pie I use untreated 2x6's and stack them. I fill them with my left over soil from my other garden. I'd also plant the Marigolds on the outside edges and I might plant Nasturtiums too. Love those damn things and they look pretty spilling over the lumber. Your little girl should have so much fun!

Please post pics as this goes along.
