🌱 You can purchase micro irrigation systems at home improvement stores like Home Depot or Lowe's.

🌱 Using a brass splitter for your irrigation system is recommended as it is more durable than plastic ones.

🌱 A pressure regulator should be used to reduce the water pressure and prevent strain on the tubing.

🌱 The main tubing is used to connect the water source to the vegetable planter or other areas you want to water.
