Great job! Looks amazing. Got my system in the mail today! Letting the sun warm up my mainline now! formerly N /A (past username). You know when dirt ain't dirt cheap anymore there's something awry..
Thank you for this video! Would you recommend running the mainline inside the beds, before filling with soil?
Excellent video
I just finished my system and your product is easier to install and higher quality than the stuff at big box stores. So glad I went with Drip Depot.
Is there a simple way to calculate the volume of water/time needed to run such a system per day for a certain area?
Another feat video
What is the rational to running two separate 1/4 lines per row?
Why not loop it backup towards the mainline and end with a goof plug or tap back into the main line?
Just placed my order. I’m so excited to put it all together, but sad im only going to have to do it once 🤣
