How to Irrigate Raised Beds

    • 1). Choose a soaker hose with enough length that you can loop it through the span of your garden several times back and forth in order to cover all of the foliage when watering.

    • 2). Affix nails every 2 to 4 inches across the width of the raised platform at each end if it is made from wood. Those made from other materials can utilize plastic clips on the sides of the bed in order to hold the hose in place.

    • 3). Start at one end of the garden and center the hose over the first row of vegetation, running it the entire length of the garden. Hook the hose around one of the nails and run it back down the next row, returning it to the end of the first side. Continue looping the hose back and forth until the entire garden is covered.

    • 4). Endcap the side of the hose that is farthest away from your regular garden hose setup.

    • 5). Attach a garden hose to the open end of the soaker hose, and turn it on. Move the hose from bed to bed as needed if watering several platform gardens over the course of the day.
