Dahlias and sprinklers Update

16 years ago

This is for jroot and anyone else who read the earlier post about the half-barrel tub with a couple of mini-sprinklers in it and a group of plants including dahlias. Jroot wanted to know how it eventually worked out - well, it is a huge success! The dahlias, and also the other plants, are thriving on the every-other-day sprinkler watering. No problems (so far), and I am definitely a convert to dahlias!

Well done. I should try to set some up here. I have the timer, and the main hose line, but need the time to install the system.

Glad to hear it is working well. Maybe some pictures some day???

I will see what I can do - I don't have a digital camera, but my brother does. The next time he visits, I'll ask him if he can take a few pictures and save them to my computer. Then, of course, I'll have to figure out how to get them onto the GardenWeb! But I may as well give it a try....
