Glatt , we have a skeeter problem here as well , what we did this last year and for here ever after , is bought a soaker hose( you know it has small holes all along the length and a cap on the end ) , ziged zaged it back and forth under the black plastic , i got one of those 2 way diverters ( buy a good one , they are worth it ) drag one hose to the soaker hose in the garden ( under the black plastic ) hook it up to the soaker hose and turn on the water for about 30- 45 minets , that gives me time to speed water the rest of the flowers all the FUCK over the place .

OH , by the way short ( 2-3 ft ) lengths of 1-2 inch PVC pipe driven into the ground in the corners of those raised beds works well to .

I will post a few pics of our raised 'erb garden and our tilled but unplanted veg garden in a few days .
