After just a couple of days of drizzle, our water troughs are all filled up!With so much easy water, our next step is to connect our drip-line that feeds all the blueberries and fruit trees into our trough.
We got a replacement trough plug, and now will attach a fitting for our valve and drip-line.The goal: setup our water catch system and dripline all of our fruit during the summer with a low-cost, completely hands-free system.
A simple drill tap to fit a 'replacement' hose fitting into the new trough plug.
A little extra heat from the heat gun and some ABS glue, and the fitting is a tight, waterproof success!We also added some gorilla glue for strength.
Next step is to attach it all up! No rush though - everything is getting plenty of water right now!
