I am running drip lines to my veg garden and pots this year. The slope garden etc are on their own during the summer. The only time I water is if the plants are new. They seem to survive the dry and heat we have been having.

I ran lines and hose bibs everywhere on my property in arizona, a lot easier than hauling a hose around.

Thats why I wanted the hydrants I wanted to run drip lines from them that i could control the time and when they come on and since that would mean running a hose across my yard and having to move it when I mowed I came up with this .I don't want to use my whole house filter to water my flowers either .They don't need filtered water and my filter doesn't need to be working to water them .This way the water comes straight from my well and does not use my filter and I can use all my outside water from them and only time I will use the ones on my house will be for the pond .This way I don't put all that strain on my filter.Those hoses are heavy and no matter how many times they tell you non kink they kink .The ones from sears are good but those things are even heavier than a regular hose .I like the hydrants because they are totally frost free and you put stone all around the bottom for them to back drain .Added benefit is they stick far enough out of the ground so you don't trip over them and are high enough to just walk up and turn on and you can lock them so no one else can use them

Yep pull that 100 foot hose out, flip on the sprayer and you have to walk back the entire length looking for the kink, dislike hoses.

Some summers here like the last one it was so rainy we never hardly had to water anything. We do have sandy soil here tho so when we do have a drier summer we are watering like crazy. I agree hoses are a pain in the kazutesky!

well I will find out this summer if the hydrants make it easier to water and work on my plants .I got the drip irrigation things for 3 of my gardens and a plastic line to run them from garden to garden and I will dig trenches to bury the hose next .But rest awhile before I start that project .I figure once i get everything hooked up all I will have to do is go around and turn each hydrant on for awhile at low pressure when I need water for the plants.Better than sprinklers none of the water will have a chance to evaporate in the air .

You done good sissy and it will surely be worth all the effort you have put into it. Just think no wild hoses w/ a mind of their own to deal with.
