New house, new chapter
 

In a few weeks I'll move into this 1100 sq.ft. home in Vista CA on 1/4 acre. Plenty of room for bananas, fruits, vegetables, and ... in the few months of cooler weather it is amenable to hydroponics.

Congrats! It looks nice now, but it'll look great after you've had your hands on it a while.

Re: New house, new chapter

Re: New house, new chapter
 

Congrats Richard. Moving can be a pain in the ass but its exciting to have a new clean slate to work with.

Re: New house, new chapter
 

Congratulations!
I see a new thread coming up: "In the beginning, the plant side was empty - chapter 2"....

Re: New house, new chapter
 

Congratz Richard. Looking forward to see what you lay out on that 1/4 acre.
Especially want to see how MR and RL low chill cherries do.
I'm still skeptical about mine.

A cast-iron waste-water pipe that ran from the garage to our sewer line backed up the first time we ran the washing machine. The plumbers came and started excavations for a replacement line. With all the activity on our property as of late, the gophers have given up and left for fairer pastures.

Re: New house, new chapter
 

Today I finished connection my irrigation valves to electronic controllers. I've one for the patio, one for about 90 herbs & vegetables in the backyard, another for about 60 fruiting trees and vines on the side yard, and a life free of watering duties!

Re: New house, new chapter
 

Richard --- who is the Mfg of that comptroller?

How many stations, start times, programs per box?

Re: New house, new chapter
 

I believe that its from Rainbird. Looks almost exactly like the one I have.

Re: New house, new chapter
 

Well it does say rain bird on the controller

My guess is Rain Bird

Re: New house, new chapter
