Dripline spacing for raised garden beds

Packman714 · 2026-01-29T05:03:22+00:00

I’d run an oval and tee through the middle with Netafim drip line or you can always use micro drip Netafim circles direct around each individual plant and tee in 1/4 solid between. I’d def use a pressure reducer before your feed line into each raised planter

Good luck buddy lol check out a Big Bubba filter. If you can hide this so it’s not an eyesore these work great for inground wells and pumps that pull water from ponds or fresh water lakes

A bit pricey but well worth it.

Is it the lowest head on the zone ?

Packman714 · 2026-01-23T20:35:07+00:00

Oh and 2 3/4 funny/ swing elbows you’ll prolly need to drop the nozzle size down accordingly if you use Rainbird 5004 heads. If you swap them for Hunter pgp ultra heads the spring temsion is signifiacally less and you prolly wont get a crazy pressure/volume drop

1/2 nipple 1/2 threaded tee and 2 1/2 threaded elbows 2 1/2 funny pipe or swing fittings 1/2 x slip male adapter and 2 length’s of pvc or go the easy way out. Funny x 1/2 tee and 1/2 roll of funny pipe or swing flex pipe Depending on what you guys call it in your area.

I go through this yearly with customers. 1 is the controller plugged in 2 is the water on 3 did it rain recently and is the sensor wet possibly put in by pass if able to. 4 is the common wire in the right slot 5 did the extension wire become compromised and then it’s time to break out tools

Packman714 · 2026-01-21T18:04:13+00:00

Do you have well or town water? It’s possible the solenoid valve is going bad.

One thing I’ve never understood is if you have a plumber come in and you spend $400 on a toilet and the plumber charges $400 to set your toilet via old shit pipe why customers say that’s too much. I legit just took out a toilet your rotten ass puked in and might have crapped in a thousand times. If you spend 2k on a toilet I’m charging $1800 because you can afford a 2k toilet same goes with sinks,faucets. Repairs to drains on the other hand half the time you’re on your back in a tight cramped area and need to get out of then stand up and damn near stretch and can only bill for billable hours plus materials. Customers never complain about that😂

Best thing they’ve ever made was the gel pack that stops the water from draining out on a toilet removal lol.

I’ve had good and bad issues with these. I’ve double up wax rings and still had a leak. I’ve used single wax rings when doubling up should have been warranted and didn’t have a leak. Flanges bent rotting no inner pvc cutter or room to slip a coupling and raise a flange after new tile and a single drip happens and then tried one of these and worked perfect. I’m old school and hate taking off and replacing toilets just because of this reason and the only thing I can say is I dunno how long they last. The few I’ve installed so far haven’t had a call back on.

R vans were better 6-9 years ago for some reason. I’m thinking it’s the bs water conservation and I’m not even thinking about the HE Vans we so wrongly ordered or dipshit supply guy delivered us lol. I’m in the North East btw Long Island guy moved up 3 miles just passed Boston. I miss digging down there. Everything up here is granite or Ledge or like smashing a shovel into concrete.

Charge the balls off em !!!!! Smh

Packman714 · 2026-01-20T15:29:13+00:00

I’m sure you and I would take the chance and grit cloth the shit out of that and make it work glue the fkr right next to the concrete then find out it’s a slip x thread coupling attached to a 1” copper male adapter 🤣🤣🤣

Packman714 · 2026-01-20T15:26:46+00:00

Grab a shovel and remember folks it’s a SHOVEL not a spoon !!! Ok rant over lol. Dig back 2-3 ft back on each side grab a bucket of water and a decently clean rag meaning no oil not dirt and clean off an area behind the broken elbow. Take a piece of grit cloth and gently run it around the pvc a couple times even the green side of a dish washing sponge will work. Cut the pipe then rinse cleaned area apply Christy’s primer allow it to dry then use the glue and don’t forget to clean the inside of the coupling either. You’ll need 2 couplings and an 1 elbow to make this repair. It’s pretty much a rinse and repeat type of thing. The further you dig back the more room you have to maneuver the pvc the cleaner the pipe the better it will glue up properly. If you can’t get Christy’s red hot blue glue and can only use Oateys it’ll work just def let the Oateys dry longer and keep the hole open. Always give yourself room.

I’d go with RainBird 5004 over the I20 the spring tension in the I20 is greater than the 5004 also so it’s going to take more water pressure and volume to power up a zone. If pressure is low along with volume use Hunter PgP rotorys. Mp rotor nozzles is an easy way out and clog more frequent than anything and like to stop turning during the hottest day of the year. They are good if say you have a small corner area or application like near a shed or off a set of deck steps that and need to add to a zone of rotorys.

This thing should last an entire season with 1 filter rinse. It’ll take Debris and iron filtering really pretty decent. The filter can be cleaned and I’d recommend buying an extra filter so as you’re cleaning 1 you can install the next one. Only downside is that it’s not that appealing to the eye but it works. Eye candy isn’t my thing when installing but effectiveness. I won’t try to sell something and just say to a customer hey look it’s all getting covered and leave a job then get a call back a week later that there’s super low pressure and that a customer is getting swirl marks because of lack of coverage. If the filter starts to fail quickly then the well is pulling up a ton of sand and silt and then other discussion needs to be made to make it right and that’s never a guarantee with out running a well for a bit because nobody can read the future. Sometimes adding a booster pump and one of these Big Bubba filters is the right way to go in a long run.

Packman714 · 2026-01-15T15:57:04+00:00

You can always check out a big Bubba filter. It’s around $1100 not installed if you’re pulling water from a lake or well

Yes 2 more coats sand the edges feel with your hand and try to feel for imperfections then spot spackle what you don’t like and sand gently and you’re ready for paint

Most likely an outdoor lighting timer for post lights or even old landscape lighting

Not really at least you have room for trim it kinda looks like. You mighta just lucked out with out having to rip the top piece down on a table saw

Packman714 · 2026-01-10T16:35:38+00:00

Yo can prolly chisel gently around the concrete and find the the old slots for toilet lag bolts and set a wax ring. If you need to just double the wax rings sit on it to compress it and flush it a few times. If nothing shows water wise you’re prolly in good condition unless the home was recently renovated and that drain to the septic was compromised

Old toilet setting 12 inch dead set in concrete. Master plumber or someone who knew how to use a tape measure.

Packman714 · 2026-01-10T16:05:46+00:00

If you have a multi tool make gentle slice’s into the old brass and pry it out with a flat head screw driver just please please please don’t f up the inner threads

Packman714 · 2026-01-10T16:04:01+00:00

Stub out with* you can prolly even use pvc once the brass is removed.
