You can lead a horse to filtered water but.... One of the links I posted is this pdf that shows they have a 3/4" unit.

Dimensions - (about 6" x 7") I think that includes the threaded inlet/outlet

General specs

TheSprinklerStore website has install instructions for each one which also has more dimensions. https://cdn.shopify.com/s/files/1/1987/5531/files/3-4-in-Manual-Filter-Install.pdf?85

Sowing tatsoi, chijimisai, mustard, collard greens, sugar daddy & lincoln peas, salanova, little gem and Pablo lettuce, bok choy, basil and marigold today. Two 32 cell trays and two 18 cell for 100 plants.

Then it's on to laying out beds and forking in goat manure, a little lime and removing grass/weeds as I go. Then spend the next 2-4 weeks, taking care of new weeds that pop up.

Gotta cut up some more coffee creamer containers to make a couple more 18 cell trays, then I can move on to maters & peppers.

Playing around with my gardening app just to get used to it again. Been a while since I've messed with it. Lot # is fake and leftover from testing. Not ideal and probably not needed for sowing trays, especially being mixed trays. It's meant for market gardeners anyway.

Neither my trays or beds will be all one thing. I'm using a notepad and plant markers. App will work later on as a garden journal/notes while out there. I can just keep adding to the notes section. Gotta figure out how to use this thing I made. LOL

Pollard; I am glad that you are into details like this. There are times that this is really necessary for things to run well.

That said, at this point in my life I am happy to be on a public water system and not a well! I am at a point where I need to downsize and simplify.

How much do you have left before you finish your high tunnel? The sides? (Will it be goat and deer proof after that?)

Do you intend to give up goat herding and turn to Quail? (I understand that Goats are good at understory managment.)

Thanks! I just haven’t had a chance to dig into that site further. (A “Palm Sunday” visit to my daughter was the culprit, mainly... Left early, just got back in @ 11 pm, & sat down to eat “supper” & check FR.) :-)

The 3/4” filter appears to be smaller, so, I assume “dirt capacity” is less — it may be worth it for me to “adapt upward”. Will investigate further after some sleep and (tomorrow) I put out a bit of a “fire” that came up while we were away. (Eye roll)

An aside (not an intention to get into a theological discussion, but I don’t often observe two services on a Palm Sunday!): Palm Sunday in my wife’s & daughter’s Catholic faith is a bit “weird” to me: It’s 100 % about “the Passion”. My church (MS Lutheran) focused on Christ’s triumphant entrance to Jerusalem and why that went wrong: The people wanted the wrong kind of king. Something we “moderns” should always learn from...
