[QUOTE="kingofnobbys, post: 1965701, member: 81934"] Preps to install automated drip irrigation in all five raised beds in my backyard prior. An update. Plants selection and sourcing : I've finally found someone who has the grass tree feature plant (s) I want . Turns out Bunnings can get Xanthorrhoea Johnsonii with short trunks and as seedlings in pots as a special order. Now able to move onto bed planting layout now I've collected all the plant info I need on spacing and mature plant heights and widths. Have decided on one of the more mature plants & a seedling , these are what they look like [img]https://i.postimg.cc/0ykySn5v/22-apr-xanthorrhoea-johhsonii-option1.png[/img] [img]https://i.postimg.cc/PqNf3q8F/22-apr-xanthorrhoea-johhsonii-option2.png[/img] the second one will look much more stunning in the front bed as ONE OF THE FEATURE PLANTS , [color=#FF0000]so is now order , will be here in 2 weeks[/color]. [img]https://i.postimg.cc/QCZXdkYR/22-apr-xanthorrhoea-johhsonii-option3.png[/img] Pipe work : I've been thinking on the best way to get water to the 5 back beds , and decided to ensure minimum drop in head ( pressure ) it will be wise to install 2 new exterior taps as shown in my layout (attached) . [img]https://i.postimg.cc/44HXT2PL/screenshot-190.png[/img] One tap at the L shaped bed feeding the drip irrigation manifold and inground tubework there. Other tap on a post about 30cm from the Nth bdry fence attached to a larger above ground post supported plastic pipe - manifold that will have branch manifolds to the three small (3m x 1.5m) beds and the big 6m x 1.5m bed top feed the drip irrigation tubework in these 4 beds. I have some spare 100x100 F4 posts set aside that can be used to support the long plastic manifold running parallel to the Nth bdry fence . Would install this on the fence but don't know if the new neighbours will want to replace the existing old Nth bdry fence when that home is sold and don't want to have repeat the job again afterwards. See attachment of layout . [/QUOTE]
