I have sand the consistency of granulated sugar so I use the
raised beds to keep the amendments where they belong. Rock paths
between eventually. I have experimented with several types of
watering and have about decided on drip irrigation for
everything. I am installing a water line with PVC pipe with a
outlet at each bed. I have used soaker hoses and drip lines with
emitters. Both have their problems but the emitters seem to last
longer although they have to be checked regularly for stopped up
emitters.
