Drip irrigation arrived today, for a small test plot of approx 200 evergreens. To combat new tree die off. Before I plant this fall, Most likely caused by lack of water. I shall see. Looking forward to learning something new. Insight and Tips by experienced irrigation folks is appreciated.

We put in 30 Norway spruce 12 years ago watered by hand, 4 years ago put in 40 more 5-6' size and installed 300' of 1/2" feeder line then the 1/4" drip line around each one with an orbit mechanical timer.

Some tips - pre-make all your 1/4" whips with like a 4' 1/4" feeder line - I did 24" circles (4 gal per tree in 60 minutes) then ran the 1/2" feeder line along the edge of all the trees then connect each whip to the main line and cover with mulch or dirt (I used my leaf compost).

It was about 10 minutes per tree to install, the most work was digging and burying the 1/2" feeder line. Very glad we put this in - so easy just to set the orbit timer for an hour and they all get watered evenly and easily.

Not nearly as "intense" as many of you guys, but a few months ago I bought a used Miata with 43k miles on it. Discovered it has a GDI engine which means carbon will build up faster. So I bought a can of CRC Valve & Turbo cleaner ($17 for 11 oz) and used it to clean the carbon off of the intake valve. Could tell it was working because the exhaust smelled much different during the process.

Miata is a great fun car. I've never owned one but I probably should have as I spent a lot of money owning all of it's competitors. Enjoy the drives.

Picked the Titan 3 point gooseneck and 2 inch receiver hitch. I inadvertently got the one with suitcase weight holder. Gotta move the splitter and trailers about. Nothing heavy. Lets see how it works. Still in the box out front
