Hello,

I posted in the Irrigation forum but haven't heard from anyone---maybe it's just not their busy season yet! But I need to make some decisions asap and hope you can help.l

Although I've been gardening for years, I've always gotten by with creative soaker hose use and hand watering. But in my new garden, I have a row of raised beds, a patch with 3 rows of blueberry plants, and meandering fruit trees (figs, elderberries, persimmon, hazelnut, serviceberries) I definitely need to do drip irrigation or something similar.

The local fancy garden store has Netafim, which is really fancy and I'm a little overwhelmed by the technology. I would rather have something simple, but I don't know if there is something truly simple. I'm not opposed to technology; I just don't have time to do a ton of reading. The trees are all planted, and I'm about to plant the blueberries; I really want to install the irrigation system at the time of planting, if possible.

Can someone with experience steer me to a brand or a type of irrigation? Or maybe a very easy-to-follow explanation of my choices?

Thanks so much in advance!

Ann
