Soaker Hose

I picked up a soaker hose today to try to irrigate the plants when I'm out of town (and probably when I go back to work too so the ground will stay moist). It's not a perfect solution, but it'll do for now. As you can see in the photo my carefully laid out carrot seeds in the square container shifted some in the dirt, but more little seedlings appear every day. The other photo is of two of the onions.

The composter is still producing flies and curious neighbors. Another lady stopped on the corner as she was driving by this afternoon and apologized for asking, but wanted to know what it was. That was about five minutes after the lady across the street came over and asked. It is unique looking. It's slowly migrated toward the front yard too as I try to move it into full sun to help with the decomposition, thus making it visible to anyone driving by.
