irrigation

Attention @Complete Turf Care, this one is right up your alley! I'm running an old 1990's Rainbird system with only 6 zones, and I have it max'd out, with a need now to add another two zones for new gardens created around our pool and patio. The installers only pulled a single 7C cable from...

My place in Oregon has a 15hp irrigation pump that pulls from the local irrigation system. I tried running it the other day when I was there and could not get it to prime. There's a priming pump on it. I closed the valve to the output pipe and opened the valve to the priming pump and pumped...

I have a drip irrigation system that I run from a 3/4 garden hose down to my field. I run about 13-15 125' rows of drip tape. 6 of those rows are blackberry rows. The rest are garden rows. Usually in late fall I stop using it and pack it up for the winter not to bring it out again until late...

I am not sure this is the proper place for this post, if not feel free to move it to the appropriate location. I have watched many YouTube videos posted by a number of people who do larger scale farming. Many use pivots to irrigate their crops. From watching these videos, I have noticed that a...

I would like to see if anyone has any experience with this subject. I am about to put down a well for irrigation. I want to install a balanced flow, constant pressure pump and system. I'm looking at the Gould 3 phase pump with the VFD setup. Does anyone have any experience with these or any...

This is for a fire protection sprinklers I'm thinking of building here. I'm wondering if there is a way to use our JD310 loader/backhoe to run an irrigation pump. I'd like to pull water from an creek up about 20 feet lift and then push 150 GPM at 90psi. Lots of PTO pumps will do that or more...

Over the past few years I've planted about 30 bare root apple trees. Three out of 30 died, all the rest are doing nicely. All are protected from deer by wire fencing. (that ... was a lot of work!) Today I discovered a dead one, in the exact same place where I already replaced a dead one last...

I need about 600’ of tubing, and I found a vendor that had it for under $900—- but the shipping was almost $800! our local plumbing supply houses do not stock it and tell me 6-12 weeks to get it in. we are in Western North Carolina. Any suggestions? THANK YOU!!!

DISCLAIMER: YES - I WILL TAKE AND POST SOME PICS LATER TODAY - Our lot is in a little dead-end valley, and the part that will be farmable once I clear it out - it has not been tended in 50+ years, and there are a good number of substantial trees that need to come down first. Up on the...
