Do I install drip irrigation in vegetable beds before I plant seeds or after they have been growing awhile?

Hello!

I want to install drip irrigation in my vegetable garden. I have raised beds.

I want to know if I should install the hoses along the beds before I plant the seeds or later on after the plants have been growing?

Also, how close do I put the lines to the seeds or the plants?

My raised beds are 2 feet wide by 10 feet long.

Thanks,
Laura

Put one line of drip irrigation down the middle of each bed before you plant it. Otherwise you are liable to break or knock over your plants if you try to put it down after the plants have sprouted.

You can put your plants right up to the drip pipe.
