Diggin' in the Dirt

Bob and I went to the local hardware store where we bought 3/4" PVC pipe, emitters, irrigation hose, elbow joints, and other things that we needed to get the students started in the garden. The previous class they dug up the trenches where the pipe will be laid down. The students measured out the necessary length of the pipe sections they needed and will begin cutting the pipe next class. We are also going to get started on the platform for the gravity feed system. Everyone seems to be pretty pleased with the work, and it sure is nice to spend some class time in the fresh air!
