Another irrigation question -- raised bed

19 years ago

Does it work better to run your irrigation line under the side of a raised bed, or over the side, which could be wood or concrete block or anything else? I will have some that are cinderblock, and you know how heavy they are. The rest will be wood if I can get it.

How do you do it?

My main pipe to the terrace zones runs under the bricks at the side. So, it gets put in as the terraces and raised beds are being built. I've got pretty much everything on either micro-sprayers or drippers.
