On the mountain there is one creek that I think will flow all summer.

I've done this before......only now I gotta go get all those hoses.......all fer da 'cause!

I use a 4 inch hose reduced to 2 inch........
Place a flat rock on top of the hose in the creek so it continues taking in water.

I have 2 options......a stealth resevoir.........or a massive web of hose.

Hey Pharm, From what I see guys do around here they will utilize both. Pipe it to your stealth res and then your massive web of pipe. Of course I'm in an area where the flowing water goes mostly bye bye in the middle of summer.

Hey pharm girl... what I do is bury a 10 foot length of 4" drain pipe capped at one end and with a 4" to 2" reducer on the other end, covered in landscape cloth to act as a filter, connect a length of 2" flexline water pipe to that and run that down to my main garden site. From there it gets dumped into a 30gal res, (black rubbermaid container) mostly to work as a sump, so that the sediment doesn't clog my drip emitters. Off of the res run's 4, 1/2 inch feed lines with 1/4 inch drip emmiters at each plant.

Worked great the past 2 years
