Here the students, Jason Reed ( lead gardener @ Filbert St.) and I designed and installed a prototype gravity fed irrigation system. We will be installing a water catchment system to capture rain to fill the rain barrels. Currently a hose can be coupled below the in let valve to fill the barrels. The outlet will also be connected to a timer, such that Filbert St. gardeners can enjoy the benefit of, at least a few, self watering plots!
The Building Trades Program participants learned basic deck building skills, such as how to refer to engineer lumber sizing charts to ensure that the structures can support the various loads that weigh on them.
Check out the photo of Jason inspecting the water pressure!
