Each year the garden gets upgraded somehow.  The first year was a simple “deer fence” with posts tied to the existing fence T posts.  The deer fence worked well until the deer decided they wanted in.  Watering was with an oscillating sprinkler that we moved around.

Year two we built a true 9 foot fence to start.  Midway through the year I picked up a bunch of 3/4 inch pipe and a few sprinklers to mount on the fence.  The system was fed by a hose and controlled via two quarter turn valves.  Great progress but required manual control.

I picked up the upgrade for the garden this year, an automatic sprinkler controller. In addition to installing the controller, I moved the hose connection to the front of the garden to allow for a shorter hose.  Watering every morning to kick the year off and will add a second cycle when needed.  So much easier!
