I would appreciate some advice and how to set up a drip system. I'm just helping a friend out really but we're trying to set up a 12 site drip system. PVC to drip on undeveloped rural property. Not even sure how to begin to ask for help honestly. Anything will help.

It doesn’t get much easier than drip, and the best thing is, if it leaks, it’s OK!! You’ve got what looks like a 5/8 in. main line. You can run it down the middle of the grow, cap the end, and feed 1/4 in. diameter tubing off of it. You can get the necessary fittings at any hardware store. Use a Phillips screwdriver to punch holes in the main, to put the barb/feeder line in. Depending on your water pressure, you can run a single main or dual mains on separate valves if there’s not enough water pressure to run them all at once. Get whatever dripper flow rate you want, or you might be able to run open 1/4 in. tubes. Is this system going to be automated, or manual on/off.
