What happens here
Install the main water supply line into the raised garden bed. This line acts as the primary feed for the drip system within the bed. Connect it to smaller drip lines (often 1/4-inch or 1/2-inch tubing) using appropriate T-connectors, elbows, and end caps to create a grid pattern across the entire planting area. Ensure the drip lines are evenly spaced to provide uniform water coverage. The system shown in the video uses black tubing that appears to be laid directly on the soil surface.
Goal: Create an even drip irrigation grid within the raised beds.
