Protecting water tubes between raised beds

11 years ago

I wish to install drip irrigation in four raised beds. Can I bury the 1/2 inch supply lines between beds and to the exterior faucet? Every picture/video I have seen of drip irrigation with raised beds show the water strung between the beds above ground. That arrangement will definitely be a trip hazard for me. Can I bury the 1/2 inch lines to protect them?

Or is there another answer?

You certainly can bury the lines between beds. you will probably have to add some elbows and T's depending on the height of your beds. There is definitely nothing wrong with burying them though. You should probably put them 4" - 6" deep to protect them.
