I initially set it to water at 7am and 6pm for 20 minutes each. This is subject to change depending on our weather and how dry the soil feels after a couple days.
This uses 1/4" OD nylon tubing with 5 little Rainbird sprinkler heads.
It runs up the side and then down into the A frame bracket, which I loosened up a little.
Then the hose is zip-tied to the support bar running the length of the Grow Camp.
Here's a video of it in action.
Because the soil is so chunky (we had to break up a lot of it by hand) I decided to add some earth worms to help break it down. 60 to be exact. They should be very happy in there.
And here is a growth progress update. My Sharpie tags are fading miserably, but by now we pretty much know what is what in there.

Next post should show a lot more growth due to the temperatures finally warming up.

You may want to consider getting a label making machine (the kind that uses the plastic adhesive backed strips) instead of the sharpie. You can stick it to a plastic popsickle stick type marker and then remove and add a new name tag as needed.
