We got the pump installed on the new well and plumbed it into the existing irrigation piping (all 2"). The pressure pump delivered water to all sections of the gardens - once it filled all that big 2" pipe, which took awhile!. I think, surprisingly, there may be enough water in that little well to run a lot of drip tape! All we'll have to do is to add some valves to make smaller zones. We installed a float switch in the 300 gal storage tank so the pressure pump won't burn-up if we pull more water than the well supplies.
I'm ready to order the tape and fittings now, along with the filter and pressure regulator. But I still haven't decided whether to go with fertilizer injection or not. I don't really understand how it delivers a uniform amount - I need to read-up on it. Do any of you guys have an injector? Or know anything about them?
