San Antonio

Reminds me to check on my backflow license

 

All the pots are around the pool deck, and I move them from grass edge to pool edge every time I mow, so kind of a pain. We just get sun and water them with the flex hose. (Great things those are, tho they don't last long enough). And I have to mow more than once a week now!

 

No inspections here or the need for backflow, but will install one once real sprinkler system is hooked up.

Will work to get there.

 

Yea I’d be mowing twice a week at old place. Don’t miss that at all

 

And @LostHusker
I'd heard that Augustine loves full sun, but so much destruction/construction in the yard last year, all I noticed was that it recovered with water. This year, even with the Frankenyard of the spring, it's growth is RIDICULOUS! I have to move a half mower width, because it's so thick! Better than a dead yard, and I have had folks stop and give me compliments on that grass! GAWD I must be old. According to Carol and the neighbor across the street, standing in the yard is "plush!"

Before the tree cutting, and the yard all tore up, I had pretty compacted yard - and no one wants to come out here with a real aerator. I found this stuff, and ordered it last year - the unmolested part of the yard really responded. I got another for this year, but with the digging, and rain, haven't used it. Now, my yard USED to be farmland. I bet yours is pretty hardpacked, and this stuff REALLY does improve the ability to take on and use water. Just use a hose end sprayer. I did it once, and could not believe it.

We’re on the side of a boulder
Bermuda hardly grows
It’s good though
All the mowers are broke

 

I remember - had a friend in Wimberly who carved a basement and home out the side of a mountain. Rocks grow better than grass, and he regularly broke every mower he got.
You can find natural grasses for the spaces you want it. The aeration was really more for Mark, but I picked the wrong quote, as I am very good at that.

 

No worries
We have buffalo and prairie grasses.
I laugh at Louie, he finds a patch of grass to crap on, the others don’t care

 

Can you explain your loop? Or diagram?
My biggest problem in the greenhouse is the drip heads clogging with buildup. I can soak them and have replacements, but don't always catch them failing.

 

I don’t have sketchup but if water hose Bibb was at 12 o’clock I ran east straight with tees down each row. Then 90 down last row. Picked up tee rows with more tees and ran back to hose Bibb with cheap ass battery timer and had adjustable heads. You can regulate with adjustable heads and clean them also. Like I said, worked like a champ. Clear as mud?

 

Will be great when your done

 

No. But the main hose starts and ends at the bibb. And then you dropped T's out from that. I have a bunch of adjustable heads from round one of greenhouse..... That?

 

go get yourself some chap TracFones. $19 lasts me three months.

 

Time to make the dinner steaks. Back later.

 

Yes
Start and end at hose Bibb with vacuum breaker, regulator, timer etc. you want a loop not just branches where you can have a dead leg.

 

Got everything but a vacuum breaker, Mr. Plumber sir!

 

Should be timer,regulator,vacuum breaker if I remember correctly.
A battery timer kit will tell ya

 

AH...maybe something that bleeds pressure with timer stops? Mine on greenhouse doesn't do that, even with the back flow I had (which is in cleaning)

 

A vacuum breaker is a cheap backflow. An atmospheric vacuum breaker is a step up before an actual rp or dc backflow which are expensive

 

I like where your going with it.
