I'm setting up a new, easier watering system and instead of chugging through random Google search results, I figured it's probably best to ask here since watering systems have been proven by growers.

I'm pumping from a pond with a new heavy duty electric pump. I have three plots and figure I'll run one main line alongside to all three plots and "T" individual hose bibs off a wooden post at the edge of each plot. I don't mind going with over head sprinklers which I already own, but would like more info on the drip tape or mini-misters.

It's tough to find supplies in Canada at times, so if anyone knows a good online site, let me know. I'd like to have this time-able. I'm shorter on time with work and don't want to miss the perfect moisture levels. If anyone had info on timers, or again just a good site on the total package, that would be great.

Is there anything out there that can be purchased to siphon fertilizers into these three sprinkler runs, in order to feed precisely and evenly? That would certainly be nice to get great coverage on the fertilization. Right now I'm going by hand, and while it's possible to do on one plant, not sure if I'd have the time to do a thorough job on three plants.

I have bought everything in my patch from Vandenbussche Irrigation which is in Ontario. I always call the main office in Delhi. They also have locations in Kingsville and Milton. Their website isnt the best but they will mail a catalogue. They are great to help out on the phone. They will ship things quickly whenever i need them. I dont look around anymore, they have everything big and small. I use hard walled drip line (and love it), dosatron, and a rain bird timer. It all works slick as can be. Hope that helps.
