Gravity bucket drip

A bucket on a stand feeding drip tape by gravity. No pump, no pressure, no power.

No. 11

Three feet of height is enough to run two lines of drip tape over about 250 square feet, using about a third less water than a hose. The cost is your legs: someone carries and fills that bucket. Put a rain tank uphill and that labor disappears.
