Simple Sprinkler Setup


Today I will show you how to set up a simple sprinkler system for your garden. I will be using a Nelson Water Timer and a Gilmour 4-way connector so I can water in different areas of my yard, and still have a standard hose to use for potted plant watering. I prefer the metal variety of four way connectors because they last longer than the plastic ones and they are much more sturdy. I will also be using a Watering Kit that has sprinkler heads that you can place where you need the water. You may want to use some metal stakes to hold down the hose so it does not move around on you. It is a removable system so that when winter comes you do not need to winterize it like a traditional sprinkler system. All you need to do, is coil up the hose and hang it in your shed or garage. Happy watering.

The pricing below is what amazon.com has listed. While I try to keep the expenses low as I am on a tight budget, occasionally the pricing will not be reflective of actual price. for example the Nelson timer is not really $180. Just a tip to help you make sure you are not spending too much.
