Got more drip irrigation stuff today. Start getting all of it installed this weekend, slowly.
I have learned a bit about how to lay out lengths of soaker tubing and maintaining pressure now. That was a problem last year. Laid the lengths out too long, so some tubing lost pressure while I had jets digging small trenches in other places.
Last night, I cultivated the south side of the garden and west side of the yard one more time. Mixed in compost, gypsum and small wood chips in various places. Spread some iron powder and then mixed a really strong sulfuric acid solution and applied that. Even if it has no immediate effect on the soil, it will kill nearly all the remaining weeds in those areas.
Really tired and not much else to write about. Need to lay out the drip system and wait for new seeds to come in. But time for bed right now.
