And dis that 10' concrete wire? Where do you get it that wide?


Your best bet is going to piling company that deals with foundation concrete piling your nearest concrete supplier etc
Or you can just buy rebar some other stuff make a internal diameter you want the cage center at 4 " 10 " 12 " 24 " and make a template wood etc once in place tie it all up if you feel like working harder then its worth just purchasing them already made lol

they come in all sizes i think if i was lucky enough i would go like he did but on second cage go octagon there for only 2 cages but the problem is come harvest time having to many cages can be a kunt i would think lol :biggrin:

Hey man. What size drip line are you using? I just got done setting up mine. 1/4 inch with 12 inch spacing between emmiters. in 100 gal holes. 13 ft per hole. So 13 1 gph emmiters. But I'm thinking I should have done 6 inch spacing....thanks

what do you like about the 1/4" over 1/2" drip line?

I wish I could answer the question. But this is my first drip line set up. I've asked for some insight on them but no one helped. :-(. I don't know wither I did too much too little. If I should have went with 6 inch spacing or 12 inch between emmiters. The 1/4 inch comes with 6 or 12 inch spacing between 1gph emmiters in the line. Saved some time and $$$. But I'm sure yall knew that. If anyone could help a fellow cultivator out that'd be awesome. 100 gal holes in ground.
 
But since I've stated that that I don't know shit about it. I'll drop my 2 cents on that anyways lol. I would think that if your using rated emmiters it wouldn't matter what size line your using since there only going to put out what there rated at. If anything the water being binded up inside the 1/2 inch will get be hotter coming out then the 1/4 inch as it has more water in it but no where to go any faster. I don't want to water my plants with hot water. But that would only depend on your watering schedule. I water plants during hottest time of the day as to help cool the soil. But I don't think any of you big Dawgs are new to that. That's just my 2 cents. I don't know shit really. This is my second season/attempt at the cultivation.

I move 4,000 gallons through my drippers in about 90 minutes. Im not sure that would be possible with 1/4" lines. I use 1/4" for my veggie garden and it works pretty well. Any thoughts mendo?

Jesus. Lol. What's your emmiters size? Or are you running high pressure and holes in the 1/4? I like the sound of that rate but would probably be really unnecessary for my little holes lol.

Big Up everyone.

1/4 would not move that much water that fast, but just run it longer if you need that much water.
I use 1/4" laser line 6" spacing.

never used 1/2".
The laser line gets clogged after a few seasons but can be cleaned by bending at the laser hole.

I cleaned all the lines this season. It took me a long time to do it but was worth it to me.

I think that I would have pressure problems with 1/2.
Unless I upgraded my main line.

Anyone have problems with emitters getting clogged?

I don't have emitters clogging, but sometimes I need to cut out one that doesn't drip. You can blow air through so I know they don't clog.

I'm running 130 1gph drippers per pot.
