I've been planning an automated (raspberry pi controlled) watering system for my garden lately. This page is a great source of information about irrigation. It took quite a few web searches for me to find this kind of information before I found this site. Great to see it on HN

I had 24 zones running with opensprinkler on a pi and loved it. About half the zones were drip. I'm in a new place now and I'm about to put in the first zone. I'll use the same hardware. It was stable and easy to use. Best advise I saw in the tutorial was to make sure tubing and fitting sizes match. It will take a few days, but they will blow apart when you aren't looking.
