As people come to the garden to look around, one of their most frequently asked questions is about the drip irrigation system we use.
When Love Apple first started out, there were many different configurations and types of equipment used to irrigate the beds. After installing and testing thousands of feet of line and hundreds of emitter heads, we found a system that works for any type of vegetable garden and for all seasons. Our system even works for raised beds and container gardens.
One of the great things about our irrigation method is that it's simple. Any one who has opposable thumbs and the ability to kneel can do it!
We show you how to install a system from the spigot out to the garden. You do not need special, dedicated water pipes for this. Bit by bit, fitting by fitting, we install the system as you watch and learn. We even get you involved, hands on, to show that YOU CAN DO IT!
We reveal who our commercial-grade parts suppliers are and give you a detailed parts list.
This class is taught by farmer Cynthia Sandberg co-founder of the World Tomato Society, and is held at Love Apple Farms' nursery located at 5311 Scotts Valley Dr., Scotts Valley, CA

What class participants say:
"I just want to tell you how much my husband and I enjoyed your class on drip irrigation today. I am already planning to add extra boxes for next spring and Dan is looking over the Dripworks catalog. I also want to let you know that our 3 chicks are doing well in the corner of our garden. Here is my new favorite thing to do: enjoy a gin and tonic every afternoon after work and watch the hens scratch away. You are a great teacher! (I am a first grade teacher and I really admire your no BS way of conducting your class!) Dan and I will return for more classes as soon as we've figured out the drip irrigation! Thank you again for an enjoyable day!" -- Jennifer D.
