Having a morning off doing stuff because I'm taking my Uncles cat to a cattery whilst hes on holiday.
Takes for everyones advice yesterday on the irrigation timings. Ive decided to go with a 5 mintue soak every hour between 5 am and 10 am.
Have a good day everyone ππ»

Judgeing from the advice watering for half an hour or so early in the morning seems to be the way to go... π€
Seems to be the consensus π€£ππ»
Will do ππ»
Thanks, if it changes anything this is for an enclosed greenhouse...
After thoughts and opinions from #permaculture folks.
I'm thinking of running the drip irrigation system for 5 minutes every two hrs at night 18:00 till 06:00.
My thinking is to minimise evaporation during the day, give maximum time for the water to percolate through the soil and minimise scortching from the sun hitting water droplets.
Any experince shared would be appreciated.

Success !! π
Thats the tanks plumbed in and insulated. Took about ten minutes for the level to equalise between the two tanks.
Now to read the instructions on the timer and pencil plan the irrigation system ready to install that on Saturday when I'll have all day to play with it.

Congratulations π mine most be around the same time. I just can't be arsed to scroll back that far π€£π€£
They are standard MDPE pipe fittings. Well, standard for the #UK, not sure about the states.
It will run through a timer into drip irrigation lines. I'll take photos as i go ππ»
She's a cutie and developing fast. Me and my partner are so proud of her mum π
Progress on my water catchment system. Got the connectors plumbed in, just got to plumb them in and install the irrigation drippers and that's the greenhouse off grid for watering.
Oh and wrap the tanks so they stay algae free.

Thats cool mate, glad you got sorted and have a stable base to move forwarx with life. I've just became a grandfather so a new born changes everything π€£
Good luck to you and your otherhalf, you'll smash it π«
For now, and if it means you can save for a deposit i'd rent.
It's a personal belief that house prices here in the UK will crash in spring 2025.
Long term, id change your thinking. Instead of looking at a house as a debt liability, think about ways to monatise and off set costs so your house becomes a net income stream.
Forgot the video..
My sarcasm would have worked better with it... π€£ https://video.nostr.build/3ca51b0bc2cbe3626158cda2e55b95471fb7eaa67fa3a72709398f5b95c709ac.mp4
