Philipwonel said:My idea @dave. In support of @JoannaKat. For new idea forum.

I took my automatic sprinkler valve system and took all sprinkler heads off. Plugged up all but three, on the one system. I hooked up, 3 fifty foot half inch poly drip lines with 1 gallon per hour emiters. Emiters one foot a apart. Total 150 1 gph emitters. City pressure is 40 psi. Works fine with no pressure regulator. Even if i have only one 50 foot line hooked up, i have no blow-outs.
I got elbow fittings, riser thread to faucet thread. Put hose thread on drip lines. Makes easy, to plug a line off that i'm not using.
Presto ! Automatic drip watering system.

Great! So did you also post this to the All Things Gardening forum? That's where it needs to go. And be sure to put the words, "Article: Idea--creating an automatic drip watering system" in the subject line of your post.

And please remove the part about being in support of me--this is for everyone and there are lots of people behind this.

Let us know when it's up! Here's the All Things Gardening forum: https://garden.org/forums/view...
