A simple, mobile home watering system using left over parts.

This simple system gives you a rigid line of micro sprayers/jets that you can move easily or slide between rows of veggies in the garden.

You can build this handy mobile home watering system with the following parts that are often left over from other projects or found cheaply at your local hardware store. 

a garden stake (suggested length at least 1.5m)

length of irrigation hose (same length as stake)

hose connection to fit

string or cable ties

micro sprayers/jets

tap (optional)

Steps

Join the hose connection to the end of the pipe and tap to other end (or fold and tie)

Tie the length of hose to the stake in at least three or four locations

Insert the micro sprayers/jets evenly spaced across the tube
