great, thanks. I will have to look at the catalog and as well as figure what piping i will be using to run from the pump.

: I have about an acre of vegetables, tomatos,
: eggplant, peppers, squash, zuchinni and
: cucumbers, all grown under 3 foot wide
: fabric. I have no irrigation and need to set
: some up. I would like to use drip tape under
: the fabric. I have a dug well i can pump out
: of about 200 feet from the fields. Slope is
: not an issue as it is relatively flat. my
: rows are under 100 foot in length and i
: would like to zone the system so that there
: would be approximately 500 feet of drip tape
: per zone. i will likely start with a manual
: system. i am Rhode Island and have a very
: loamy soil with good water holding capicity.
: i have a shallow well pump an am wondering
: if it will be adequate to use. i am assuming
: that i need to maintain 10 to 15 psi out of
: it to the mainfold ? the dug well i have i
: am un certain of the volume i can pull over
: a lenght of time. So i am planning to start
: by figuring my zones at 500 feet of 8 mil
: 5/8 tape with .22 emitters at 12 inch
: spacing and run for 1 hour each zone to
: limit withdrawl to the 120 gallons (or so)
: per zone and run at different times to allow
: for recharge in the well. This will, if it
: works correctly, allow me to water each zone
: at least 2 to three times per week and still
: simulate a 1 inch rainfall. although a
: little crude it will at least let me be more
: consistent than depending on rainfall alone.
: any ideas or insight you may have would be
: helpful. I also need to know what materials
: i would need to go from the 1 inch plastic
: supply line to the drip tape zones and your
: pricing. If you need more info please let me
: know and i wil gladly discuss.
: tomatos are single row per 3 foot wide
: fabric rows.peppers, eggplant, and the
: curbits are double row per 3 foot wide
: fabric rows. for the double row do i need to
: run 1 or 2 lines of drip tape?
