Installing drip irrigation is kind of like building LEGOs. There are many different hoses and attachments to customize your set-up. Here is the simple process we used.
Wool Roving100% Cotton YarnNylon StockingKitchen StringRecipe: You need wood roving. You can find this from most craft and yarn stores. It looks like a big mass of wool straight from a sheep. Wool roving is what wool looks like before it's spun into yarn. For each ball, you'll need 3-4 ounces of roving (best to weigh it), and roll it into a tight ball. Wrap your ball tightly with 100% wool yarn. Place inside a stocking of cut off pair of hose (cheap knee high's from drug store work great). Tie off with kitchen string (not yarn). Toss in a hot machine wash cycle, then dry on high - this will "felt" the ball (it will shrink considerably). Remove the hose and sprinkle with 20 drops Lavender essential oil per ball. I recommend that you use about 5-6 balls per drying load to get maximum anti-static and fragrance effect.
