We began installing our second drip system today. We made a cool
little PVC manifold so that we can control the water flow to different
trees and raised beds. Sadly, at the end of the day we realized that
we had tapped into a dead water line. Fortunately, a working water
line is only 15' away.

I made two drip bottles for the Crown Flower Milkweed Tree. I put the plant in a large pot as it's not frost hardy and will need winter protection. The brutal hot weather and an aphid attack has made it lose most of it's leaves. Although I do soak the pot several times a week, It needed a little more slow watering. I used plastic hydration bottles to make these. I heated a cooking stiletto and put 3 small holes in the caps. July 2026.

(view larger) With all the rain our fair state has been getting this entire month, the poor hose has had nothing to do. I think I caught its tear.

I'm still learning to shoot high speed drips. not as easy at it looks - especially with the wrong type of tap
After seeing everyone else shooting water drops falling into a pool of water, I thought I'd try it. I accomplished this by using a piece of my lab equipment which pumps a constant stream of water at a rate of 0.500mL/second. This also gives nice uniform droplets.
