Morning all.
Mrs. Carrera and her Master Gardner's class has struck again.
"We" are going to remove a large chunk of the front yard and make it into a garden. It is the area just on the other side of the sidewalk from the other large area we converted to garden. The worst part is the sprinkler system I put in 20 years ago was designed for a yard. There are four spray heads in that area that will have to come out. That means the remaining heads have to have the flow to keep the well from over-pressuring. The even worse part is she wants to convert the garden areas into drip irrigation. Those flow is gallons per HOUR not minute. One hundred feet of drip irrigation running for an hour is just 15 gallons. My well puts out 18 gallons a minute. I don't have a pressure tank, never needed one with a sprinkler system. The valves open before the pump kicks on. ARGGGH
To add a pressure tank to the system means building a pump house to prevent the tank from freezing and there is no good place for that.
This is gonna be a challenge.
