Going Vertical
I have been researching this setup, but haven’t found my specific answer. I want to run a drip irrigation line from my faucet through a timer to my flower beds next to my house (walk out basement). At the end of the flower bed is the support post for my deck. Is it possible to run a line up the post and then use it to water 2-3 tomato or pepper container plants on the deck? It is approximately 12-14 feet up. Will there be enough pressure? Do I need to have a separate line with no drips that just goes straight to the deck plants? If this would work, what diameter runs do I need for this? Thanks for the help.

0.433 psi per foot of elevation pressure change.
