Thanks! It helps me soooo much!

Me too, but from what I gather, masala refers to a mixture of spices. Chances are you already have them in your cupboard!

I didn't do it on purpose! I tried to post a picture, and this is what came up, sans picture.

That sounds really good!

Well, when I did it before, I wasn't very scientific or exacting about it but it worked. I used it for our front yard landscaping with one main tube circling the area I wanted to have watered. If the tubing ran next to a plant, I'd insert a dripper or two. If the plant was a foot or two away, I'd insert a branch line with smaller tubing and a dripper on the end. I think we bought a kit to get us started which included a special poker that you used to pierce the tubing creating a hole into which you would either insert a branch or a dripper. Some of the larger shrubs got two drippers, one on each side. There are special connecters for that.

I'm sure there's a lot of technical detail I'm leaving out of this description, but hopefully you get the idea that this can be as simple or complicated as you want to make it. Some might want to measure their water pressure and calculate how much tubing you should have per line, or whatever. I didn't do that and it worked fine. Also, there is a special filter that you can buy to ensure that your small tubing and drippers don't get clogged. I never had any trouble but I was on city water. I highly recommend a timer as that will free you from watering worries altogether. I like the battery operated ones because I'm somewhat technically challenged.

It's definitely worth the trouble! Good luck!

It does, doesn't it! Basically, it means potatoes and cauliflower, though I can't remember which word means which thing.

It's nice to learn something new, isn't it. If you don't have arthritis, it probably doesn't matter which way you eat it. Enjoy!
