Watering solutions?

SQWIBB · June 2, 2020

I finally started work on my Irrigation page on my website, it is far from done but for now, here is a copy/paste of what I have so far, hope this helps.

Ill probably post a new thread with more information so I can update, when I do that I'll post a link here.

Drip Depot

Orbit 58910 Programmable Hose Faucet Timer, 2 Outlet, Green

Lee Valley 'Y" shut off valve

Valterra RV Hi-Flow Water Regulator 50-55 psi

This is the main 1/2" polyethylene tubing feed line.

Each bed has a double length of 12" spaced 1/2 gph line installed. with a valve so each bed can be shut off individualy..

Each bed has a 1/4" Barb Tubing Coupling Valve, so each bed can be shut off individually.

A 1/4" polyethylene tubing line goes to this mini raised bed with a section of polyethylene dripper line that is also on a 1/4" Barb Tubing Coupling Valve.

The main 1/2" polyethylene tubing line runs across the length of both beds on the hill and under the retaining wall to feed a 30' emitter line up on the retaining wall.

Looking at the picture above, the feed line then goes to the left and down to the lower beds and runs another 50' the entire depth of the yard.

The main 1/2" polyethylene line has a low point with a perma-loc coupling for winterizing, I just disconnect the hose and wrap cloth around the hose with electrical tape, I will eventually just put a three way perma-loc with a valve for winterizing.
Right where the rain barrel is there is 1/4" polyethylene tubing that goes to the deck post to feed the deck.

At the steps is another 1/4" polyethylene tubing that feeds three seasonal air pots.

The 1/4" vinyl tubing runs off of the 1/4" Barb Tubing Coupling Valves that feed the pots on the deck, the . I used vinyl tubing in some applications because it is much more flexible.

Around this cherry tree is a 3 emitter loop made by a section of emitter line and a 1/4" Barb Tubing Tee.

This pot has an adjustable dripper.

This hanging pot has an adjustable dripper attached to a 1/4" Barb Tubing Coupling Valve

Directly under the hanging pot is another pot with a looped emitter made with emitter hose and 1/4" Barb Tubing Tee and a
1/4" Barb Tubing Coupling Valve.

From the end of the 1/2" polyethylene main line is a 1/4" polyethylene tubing that goes under the pavers to feed the pot in the next picture.

This pot has a 1/4" Barb Tubing Coupling Valve and a 1/2 gph compensating dripper, I may change this to a loop setup.
