Excellent solution! Your blueberries sounded very compromised, hopefully they'll thrive with this pump.

I've had this pump for about two months and I just got it set up. I've got so many things to do, it seems I'll never get caught up. Thanks for watching Sam!

For me, drip is the only way to go. I got tired of sprinkle watering areas that didn't need it in the garden and only made the weeds happy. I installed a Dripworks system three years ago and haven't looked back. The garden starts about a 150' from the house and all the lines have a shutoff coming off of the manifold so I only open the lines with plants on them. I walk out of the backdoor, turn the spigot on that feeds the system, set the timer for three house, go back to the recliner and wait for the timer to go off. Sort of. Happy farming Richard! JimE

That's my goal, JimE. Next week a huge transformation will be taking place, then a new irrigation well. Hopefully a new pole barn will be right behind the well, or vice versa. My plan is to have all the irrigation automated at some point. Thanks for the comment and thanks for watching JimE!

Nice solution. I like the barrel idea. But I just wouldn’t have a good way to fill one of those at my place.

Fortunately, I have another barrel with a hose and valve strapped to the bucket of my tractor. I carry it up to the barrel, raise it in the air and let it drain into the irrigation barrel. Hopefully, sometime in the near future, I'll be getting an agricultural well put in. Things will be changed around a bit after that. Thanks for watching!

I like that you're using automation in the garden. I mean can I call it a garden? On the farm?

@homesteadohio 3 ай бұрын

Sometimes I think it's a big field where I can spend a lot of money! Hopefully there'll be a return on the investment!

You should have 2-3 emitters per shrub to balance the root growth around your plant.

@homesteadohio 3 ай бұрын

You are correct. Unfortunately, the system I used probably won't support 80 emitters. I will probably move them from one side to the other until I can install a more permanent irrigation system. I plan on having a new agricultural well put in soon. That will eliminate having to haul water to the barrel every weekend and allow for a little fertigation too. Thanks for the comment and thanks for watching too!

this seems really great, i wonder how long it will last

I hope it will last for a while, I just bought two more of them for my grape vines! I'll let you know if I have any issues. Thanks for the comment and thanks for watching too!
