Since I know the pumpkin plants are only going to get bigger, I thought this would be a good opportunity to install my irrigation set-up. What is pictured here is my idea to be able to irrigate with warm (greenhouse temperature) water. The materials are a 100-gallon tank with a 1/6 hp water pump that is controlled by a ‘Traceable Controller’ and is programmed to come on for one hour per day. The water is pumped to my drip lines that are set up very similarly to what I do in the field.
