Anyone plant outside yet? I think I’m gonna give it a couple more weeks

the zip ties are only to get things neat and tighty and not have hoses flop around in the wind. The tubing is 1/2” mainline with 1/4” lines going to the drip emitters. The smaller tubing has a “T” fitting pressed into the mainline. It’s all part of a drip kit so that’s how it’s supposed to be...

Pretty slick setup so worth the effort. I can control watering remotely anywhere in the world with a push of a button. Can setup timers, schedules, or auto watering based on weather. Now I can go on road trips and not worry about it! lol

haha no claymores here. Yes it’s a locked gate, nothing fancy but Keeps it legal. The fence is 8ft high give or take.

Weather was nice this weekend so started plumbing my drip irrigation. Had to crawl under my deck to add a spigot next to my garden bed. Just gotta get a few more things and I’ll be all set for planting very soon! Getting excited

Well here we go

the hoop was your basic 1/2” pvc I had laying around and the plastic was just cheap roll of clear plastic I got from tractor supply. Whole setup cost me about $20 and survived some surprisingly strong winds. Key is to leave the ends and sides open to let air pass through and not carry it away lol

Their pretty cheap brand new anyway. I think it’s a wise investment

orbit bhyve controller. I scored a brand new in box someone was selling for $35. I already tested it and downloaded app. Works great! Even gives you a flow rate.

Another new thing I’m going to try this year is a WiFi controlled irrigation system. I bought everything to do it last year and starting plumbing yesterday while the weather was nice. Will have a drip system in my garden bed attached to a WiFi controlled solenoid that can water on a schedule...

Very interesting. I think I may try the halved cup method. Thanks for sharing!

What’s your process to transplant autos without shocking them? I’ve never had good luck starting autos in solo cups

Couple more weeks to go :) weather has been pretty chilly lately though hopefully it’ll warm up soon. Any ideas on “mini” greenhouse domes I can put over the seedlings? I’ve never planted seeds directly in soil outdoors before always transplanted establishes clones but doing autos this year

I did mine two weeks ago. I try to add amendments about 4-6 weeks before planting

Here’s to a lucky season :p

If hydro stores are closed, as a last resort I’ve seen it at home depot/lowes/tractor supply

Phew long day lol added a yard of compost, mixed in my dry amendments, watered it a bit and covered with a tarp. I’ll let that cook for about 6 weeks and I’ll be ready to plant!

Time to put my boots on

Nice! That’s definitely something I want to try soon. I have plenty of worms in my woods to gather lol

I would like to know as well
