Either you have one freakin' big tank (27,137.88 gal./acre and just how
tall are you eves?) or your planing on scaling this back some. What you
using drip? I mean, what are you using, drip? Farml said somethin' about
low pressure drip but I got lost in the conversation about sagging
hindsides and such, sorry, old habits and all that;-) (Did I mention
that I have been confirmas as having Donelop's disease? My gut done
loped over my belt;-) [There must be a 12 step program for smiley face
absers.] Any who, you must know that for drip, you have to have a larger
feeder line, because laminar flow will reduce the pressure at the
extremities of the spaghetti drip emmiters. I use the 1/4 inch that has
1/2 gal/hr emmiters every 12" but that only works up to 20'.
Who was the "Psycho Ceramic"? Haven't seen him around here before. He
sure jumped in and out fast.
