Drip for keeping a bed wet for sprouting direct sown seeds, not so good. I had my doubts anyway. I used the sprayer wand night before last by flashlight and just wetted the beds again this morning. I'll have to search for some small sprinkler heads.

I also need to get some powered, motion activated lights for that side of the house.

Two minutes later;

This product has been independently tested at 15 psi by the center for Irrigation Technology, California State University, Fresno

That reminds me. I need to install the little pressure gauge I bought into the drip system. The little tank sprayer pump says 40 psi max but doesn't list the cut on pressure and I'm supposed to put air in the accumulator tank to 3 psi less than the cut on pressure. The accumulator tank prevents/reduces rapid pump cycling at low volumes of water output.

The sprinklers and rigid riser have to be purchased in qty of 5 so I'm also getting 5 of the riser stakes. One end of the riser inserts into the main drip line tubing and the other is threaded for the screw on sprinkler head.
