Drip Irrigation Not Dripping

[clutchrider]

The time I am skipping. The hose outlet I am splitting and putting the filter/regulator on one of the spiget splits with a 25'hose to reach the garden. Thanks.

This is how I had mine set up last year:

From right to left, you have the timer (green box), the bucket filter, the backflow preventer and then the pressure reducing valve.

Beyond this point, it went to a "T". Each pipe from the "T" also went to a "T". Then the 4 pipes went to 4 beds. Total of about 100LF of drip (25 in each bed). Worked GREAT.

I have the [url=https://www.amazon.com/Orbit-56233D-3-Outlet-Digital-Watering/dp/B004PVK4GK/ref=sr_1_1?s=lawn-garden&ie=UTF8&qid=1335289327&sr=1-1]three outlet version[/url] of that Orbit timer box, and I've been pretty darn happy with it.

Two of the outlets are independently programmable, and the 3rd is a manual outlet with a lever. This manual one is great because I can hand water stuff without having to dis/reconnect stuff from the timers.

I also have a cheap Melnor timer that I bought from Home Depot, and I don't like it nearly as much.

For single zone setups, I like this timer. The programming head comes off for programming.

What is all the landscape fabric for?

It's weed blocker. Planted through it and mulched on top. I ended up ripping most of it out during trial and error and because with the mulch, the soil stayed too wet.
