How to Use

The Patio Drip Watering Kit can be used in patio or pool areas to water pots and baskets. It uses pressure compensating drip emitters for even uniformity along the length of the micro tubing. This is a starter kit that can be started from a 3/4" hose garden or faucet/spigot. We highly recommend installing a 25 PSI pressure regulator (not included) after the backflow preventer. The pressure regulator is used to lower the incoming pressure of the system to the suggested operating pressure of 25 PSI, which is within the range of recommended pressures for a drip irrigation or micro sprinkler system. The instruction manual for this kit can found in the package.

Using drip irrigation, water first thing in the morning before the temperatures begins to rise. This will allow excess moisture on leaves and top soil to dry before fungal and other diseases can develop. The most common cause of early plant death is over watering. Using drip irrigation can help sustain healthy plants by applying water directly to the plant root zone when and where it is needed. For established pot plantings, short watering times are recommended.

The basic installation recommendation for this type of kit is first to review the area or section you wish to irrigate and then to make a drawing of the garden or site with your preferred layout. Keep a record of this information for future expansion or schedule maintenance:

  • In the installation stage, to the faucet, first connect the backflow device (model D45), then a pressure regulator and then a 3/4" adapter with screen (model C37B). If water quality is a concern, we highly recommend using a fine mesh 3/4" filter with 155 mesh (model D57A), not included with this kit.
  • Divide the pots and baskets into groups, such as small and large pots or baskets or pots in shaded or sunny areas.
  • Connect the 1/4" micro tubing into the adapter by forcing the micro tubing and wiggling it in, and lay out the micro tubing to the pot and basket area.
  • If used with hanging baskets secure the micro tubing to the structure using the 1/4" mounting clips with nails included.
  • If dividing the pots or baskets into groups, at the beginning of a group cut the micro tubing and add a 1/4" ball valve. The ball valve can be used to adjust the flow to the group.
  • To the 1/4" ball valve, connect the micro tubing and lay it out along the pots, baskets or containers in the group.
  • Near each pot or basket, cut the 1/4" micro tubing and insert a 1/4" barbed tee. To the tee, add a length of micro tubing and extend the micro tubing to the plants area. Repeat the step for each pot and basket.
  • Turn the water on to flush line for 15 to 20 seconds and after the line is flushed turn the water off.
  • To each end of micro tubing, insert a drip emitter and secure the drip emitter into the pot or basket with the 1/4" stake included.
  1. For baskets of up to 8" in diameter, use one 1-GPH drip emitter per pot.
  2. For large pots or baskets more than 8" and up to 12" in diameter: Inside the pot or basket, instead of the drip emitter, add a 1/4" tee. To each side of the tee, add a 4" to 6" length of micro tubing. To the end of the micro tubing, add a 1-GPH drip emitter and secure the drip emitter using a 1/4" stake. Note: To expand the kit we highly recommend continuing with the same model drip emitters.
  • How much time to water: Turn the water on for two - five minutes. The goal is for all the pots and baskets regardless of size to drain at the same time. If using a hose end timer, program the timer for about one - three minutes less than the time it took the pots and baskets to start draining. If the plants need more water, program additional start times. Run the irrigation system for two to three days a week, depending on your location and the soil type. After a week or two, check the pots and the health of the plants, and adjust the watering time as needed. Use the valve for your final adjustment.

    I thought they did a very good job. Being a very open minded person
    Format: Kindle
    Written by two Authors, each telling their story, I thought they did a very good job. Being a very open minded person, I found myself relating to a few of the many things they wrote about because I once experienced the exact same thing myself. Whether you believe what they tell you or not, they still did a great job! Fascinating and easy to read, I found myself wondering about this very large universe and all of the strange goings-on that people have been reporting for thousands of years. Are they right? Who can say? Life is a strange tapestry of events, and the authors(s) views and beliefs are as good, or better, than many other that I have read.

    I'm totally invested in this book!
    Format: Paperback, Format: Paperback
    I'm new to this side of the world, ya know, the paranormal and such, but I'm here anyhow. Bradshaw Ranch and Skinwalker Ranch have most of my time these days. I'm so invested in the goings-on It's crazy. This book is really well written, easy to follow and very interesting. I hate reading, always have, I just don't do books other than school books. This book however, I can't stop reading it, I just have to know what happens next! This is just an overall good read about Bradshaw Ranch, and the similarities it has with Skinwalker Ranch, is just mind boggling. There's definitely something happening, just nobody knows yet!

    Interesting recollections but lackluster photographic evidence
    Format: Paperback
    The book was kind of a hodge-podge of recollections from Linda Bradshaw (the previous owner) and Tom Dongo (UFO researcher). The stories were interesting. Lots of recollections of orbs, UFO activity, strange animals including Sasquatch, general anomalous high strangeness and interdimensionality. Linda’s son had time-loss and out-of-body experience with UFO that was recounted through hypnotic regression. He relayed messages from the beings to humans, general knowledge he gained from his experiences and close interactions with entities. The main detractor from a 5 star review, in my opinion, was the lack of clear photographs as well as the organization of the experiences. It is basically like a journal of random anomalous experiences, but the video and photographic evidence that was referenced over and over throughout the written portion of book is almost meaningless in my opinion. Use an old film camera on any night and it will capture balls of light, blurry smears of light refractions, etc. There are no clear images of aliens or excellent UFO images. There are a couple bigfoot footprint and molded footprint photos that are clearly discernible and interesting. There is one color photo that looks like a mothership but it could just be a cloud formation. Overall I think it is probably a good introduction to the Sedona area, what is possible, what has happened, what one could expect if they had the time to visit and research the portals and whatnot. I think it is probably worth the read, but the images leave a lot to be desired and are over-emphasized for what they actually are. The authors referenced video they had of anomalous phenomena including aliens, and I would be interested in that if they could include links to those in future printings.

    Fascinating
    It's impossible to put this book down. I've spent dozens of hours reading about the topics of Ufology, psi, cryptozoology, etc., enough to know that these are much, much more than : imagination, hoax, alien encounter(s). I've seen three UFOs myself and I know I wasn't imagining them but I don't really understand what they 'are'. I've had psi related experiences my entire lifetime. (I've never seen a bigfoot or a mothman, but boy would I like to lol). "The Trickster and the Paranormal", George Hansen, discusses in depth what these phenomena are (and are not); "Merging Dimensions" gives the reader as close to a first-hand look as possible without actually being there. I found that I did NOT have to suspend belief one bit since I actually have educated myself regarding the nature of these phenomena. Some of the photographs are hard to decipher but WOW that "portal" is amazing. It reminded me of a screen against a wall in a dark room, the sort projectors used to view slides (back in the good old days before digital photography). That part of the book written by Tom Dongo presented his conjectures (at the time the book was written, 16 years ago) regarding the nature of these phenomena. I don't agree with some of what he says and there are explanations for other of his statements. Since we now know that consciousness can effect result in measurement on the quantum level, we can postulate that the same effect is seen on other levels. On page 104, Mr. Dongo says "However, the incredible light retreated quickly away from the group when one of the six people became hysterical with fear. Fear drives these lights, or life forms, away." Fear disengages cognition, and it's contagious: if the man next to me becomes hysterical, I will react without control (it's a fight/flight mechanism, can't be reasoned away instantly) and, when that happens (when the other people's autonomic reactions kick in as a response to the hysterical man), cognition "flies out the window" and if our consciousness is in any way related to the phenomenon, without cognition it is rendered moot. One thing I do agree with is his following statement, "Reading and listening to everything of pertinence is the only way we can build a database for the internal guidance system to decide what is relevant and what isn't. Because of ignorance or a lack of information, some of the world's most entrenched beliefs and institutions were created thousands ofyears ago by a few who had in mind only power and profit. It's been proven that many of these beliefs have no verifiable historic record outside of the original document or decree itself. many of these dictums survive basically intact, even now." Accurate analysis of so many strongly held belief systems; people seem incapable (and unwilling) to let go of them. This is pure fear, of the unknown, and of stepping away from the herd mentality. I don't fool easily and I AM no fool. This hint at REALITY (rather than what we construe as such) is fascinating and Linda Bradshaw's advice regarding spiritual authority is spot on. I'm doing more research immediately; I'm going to see what's happened in the last sixteen years. I hope I don't find myself wearing chocolate shoes but, honestly, I'm so far out on a limb already that they might just provide me a much needed snack. :o/

    accurate story about Bradshaw ranch
    Format: Paperback
    Having listened to online accounts of this ranch, this is an absolutely valid account. Talks about bigfoot, the greys, some angel like positive beings that come out of the portal on this property. They were forced to sell to the government which now owns the ranch. Even though there is a gate people climb it and explore the property. Abandoned ranch house, abandoned western town used in the cowboy films from the 50s-60s. Supposed to be a research project which is just a cover for what the govt is really doing there. Linda Bradshaw has amazing stories which you should read. Photos are why I bought it to see the entities and the orbs etc. Fascinating. Worth the money.
