If you’re like me, the thought of installing a drip irrigation system in your garden is akin to that dream where you realize you haven’t gone to algebra class all year and you need to show up today and take the final exam.

Take a few deep breaths, pinch yourself awake and join us at noon PDT Thursday, May 21, for a streaming live class on how to do it. Contra Costa Master Gardener Steven Griffin will walk you through the basic set up of a drip irrigation system for your garden, as well as demonstrating how easy it is to create a smaller, simpler system using a timer attached to your hose bib, and some drip line to water your potted plants.

Drip irrigation is the most economical way to water during the drought, and while it may look intimidating, it’s not.
