After laying out the hose to make sure that I bought the right length, I fed it through the tube. I had cut the landscape fabric intentionally a bit long because I may be putting some short radius elbows at the ends of the pipe. I left the dirt at the ends of the pipe a little bit loose to facilitate easy excavation for attaching the elbows at a later date.
In the mean time I secured the hose to the ends of the fabric using some plactic ties. Then it was time to backfill, tamp down, water a bit, tamp down some more, and wait for it to dry and settle so that I can fill in any depressions with more soil and maybe some clay or sod clumps. At the moment the layer over the pipe is not deep enough and will easily wash or erode away. So, I want to make sure that there is some more soil covering it. But, for all intents and purposes, the hard part of the project is done. Now I just have to run the hose along the fence to the garden/patch and presto!
