Hey all, been a long time since I have been on here, much has changed as well as my info lol (forgot email n stuff)

Poconos, PA

zone 5b

rocky soil

Anyways, last spring we removed our raised beds and are now growing in ground (to a point) They are still raised a bit but no longer 12 inches of raised bed.

We also added quite a bit (maybe to much lol)

Last year we ended up using a large tripod sprinkler for irrigation. We ended up watering a lot of the woods and driveway. This year I would to try something different but I'm not sure which direction to go. Many years ago we did drip irrigation and it ended up being a pain between drippers and having to hook up to different zones when we needed it. Plus removing everything and blowing it out for the winter, it just became a chore.

Also last year I got a dramm wand and water breaker, It was quite nice being able to soak the soil under the plants. This year I just don't have the time to do that though.

So my question is, what would you do in my situation?
