I purchased the components to water my trees. It is getting hot on the hill here, and my thirty tiny Ponderosa pine trees need to be watered regularly. So, on the advice of This Old House and Drip Depot, I took my shopping list and set out to compare prices. However, when you get to the store with stars in your eyes, you kind of forget yourself.
However, the older gentleman working the drip irrigation supplies department was really invaluable. Confronted by thousands (seemed like) of boxes of tiny parts, with negligible differences, I grew disoriented. The Minion made matters worse by pointing out that I didn’t have nearly enough “Goof Plugs.” I didn’t even know those existed until today. Too bad they are not multi-purpose….
Anyway, I told the Home Depot Associate what I wanted to do, and he said, “you don’t need half that stuff…”
So, I came home with Hose filter connectors, half inch line, quarter inch line, 1 gallon per minute emitters and lots of staples to hold them into the ground. I am going to assemble this tomorrow, so I’ll post the results.
Be cool if it works…
