You’re welcome, my FRiend. I think I still have pictures of the drip lines going into the garden when we first established it a few years ago. Same process for flower beds, either system controlled by a cheap timer from Lowes. Containers use just a little different method, but it’s all there at the site. We have used a different company for 12 years, but had to change to this one over customer service and prices are better. When we get ready for a weekend away, we just load the car and go. NO more being tied to a waterhose in the garden. In our hometown, when we first put in the drip, it lowered our water bill $30-$40 per month over spraying the hose.

Do you have hard water or soft water there? My daughter installed a drip irrigation system at her place, but the water here is full of lime. It clogs up her little nozzles, and such every so often, and she has to declog it A few times she’s had plants get close to croaking if she doesn’t notice a jet or nozzle is clogged..

She loves it when it’s working properly.
