Nice project, BTW! You're making some good progress. Here in the South to remove a stump, we use a couple pounds of smokeless under it. It removes the stump and makes a bunch of mulch all in one shot.

Re: New house, new chapter
That's the first of five to complete. Then I get to pull controller wire!
Of course I still have to build 5 planter beds, 2 sheds, put about 2 dozen trees in the ground, and build the miniature golf course.

Re: New house, new chapter
man, your setup looks very professional. can't wait until you have it done so you can hopefully explain to us how you set everything up. i am looking to install some microsprayers in late spring so i might be reaching out for pointers in the near future.

If you do it, I would recommend keeping the supply line out of the bed and the feeder lines on top of the mulch to be reset when you get new mulch. Also I found that I need several micro sprayers for my bananas. That's my two cents but maybe I'm doing it wrong or my source of irrigation isn't quite so compatible. I hope it works out for you though. |

Re: New house, new chapter
For the put-put golf course, I have 160 feet of transit. So 8 or 9 holes.

Re: New house, new chapter
As of late I've been planting my deciduous trees. Today I set out to put in the second row, but instead ended up spending the entire afternoon uncovering a buried circular concrete pad about 8 feet in diameter. I'd seen older aerial photos showing a circular planter bed at this location, so with no surprise here it is
It was buried about 5 to 8 inches under the grade level. There are numerous cracks in it so perhaps I can take it apart with a sledge hammer and crowbar. Looks like tomorrow will be concrete demolition day!

Re: New house, new chapter
Or, you could take a drive up to Vandenburg and get a demilled Minuteman, and use that for the base in your new rocket garden.

Re: New house, new chapter
Fortunately that cement pad had no rebar
I took it apart today, and tomorrow I'm back to planting trees.

Re: New house, new chapter
Boy... You got a lucky break with no rebar in the one. If I were you I'd buy a lotto ticket you're luck could be on a roll...
