Today I connected the drip watering system to the recently planted strawberry bed. The setup is quite simple; I have 32mm tubing run from our water source to the vegetable garden. A 1/2" hole is made in the distribution tube - I heated a small piece of 1/2" copper water pipe and pressed it into the pipe to make a hole that is just the right size for a rubber grommet which the plastic fixture pushes into, making a water tight seal. A short piece of tubing then connects the control valve, which has a special twist connector on the other end to connect the drip watering ribbon.
Once all the planted rows have been connect, I'll bury the distribution tube to protect it from the sun etc ..
