[QUOTE="Claudiusx, post: 1930065, member: 31715"] Welp, first order of business was cutting out that section of sprinkler feed and repairing it. [GALLERY=media, 29135][/GALLERY] I forgot to take a picture of it before I installed, but you can see it's a semi-flexible coupling. It's specifically rated for irrigation so we should be good to go. No leaks with testing. So then I could proceed to filling in my trench and prepping the 2 holes for the bushes. This time, both holes drained. I wonder if that pipe puncture was there before I started digging, or maybe i actually broke it with the shovel and not the pitchfork. That might have explained why no water was draining. Even though the pipe isn't under pressure, it would still have residual water in the line that could have kept leaking out into my hole. Either way, both problems solved. Since blueberries like acidic soil, I mixed in probably 50/50 peat moss/native soil. To that mix I added a bit of soil acidifier for good measure. I also added in some bonemeal and some bloodmeal. Drip irrigation line preexisting in that bed, so I just capped off one nozzle (that fed an old bush) and added 2 new ones right next to each bush so they will be watered by the sprinkler system. Covered with some mulch and the bushes are in. They are smaller than I thought they would be (for the price I paid...) but 1 of them has quite a bundle of buds on it already. [GALLERY=media, 29142][/GALLERY] [GALLERY=media, 29540][/GALLERY] [GALLERY=media, 29600][/GALLERY] Here we got my onion patch! Transplants seem to be doing ok. None of the seed I've sown has sprouted yet though. Thats all the empty space to the right of the transplanted onions. To the left is some pepper plants. And here is the "greens bed" [GALLERY=media, 29531][/GALLERY] Doesn't look like much right now, but upon closer inspection, there is probably 2 dozen or so sprouts. More so this week i'd imagine with how the weather is going. [GALLERY=media, 29719][/GALLERY] [GALLERY=media, 29655][/GALLERY] [GALLERY=media, 29495][/GALLERY] [GALLERY=media, 29405][/GALLERY] That is Kale, Collards, and Spinach that have sprouted. We also have a seed mix of salad lettuces in there too and it's the only thing that hasn't sprouted yet. Hopefully the seeds weren't bad. It's possible, I believe they were quite old. If that's the case, that is fine. I overseeded everything, so if I end up having 6 sq feet of unused space in that bed, I will just move some of the other 3 items growing into that spot. -Brandon [/QUOTE]
