The drip irrigation setup

4 parts (in this order): a backflow preventer, a big filter (needs to be cleaned out every few weeks), a pressure reducer thing, and finally an adapter to go from garden hose size down to a seal on the 1/2 inch plastic hose.

automatic timer

100 feet of main 1/2 inch plastic hose

25 feet of 1/4 inch microtubing rubber hose

stakes for pounding the big hose into the ground

only tools you need -- a pair of garden snips for cutting the hose and a mallet or hammer for the stakes.

various drip heads

various connectors

converter for the faucet, to turn it into a double faucet (one for this system, one for the existing garden hose)

About a $100 worth of small plastic bits and bobs make up the whole drip system.

We got nearly the same setup a few years back. We called it the drip irritation system.
