This is a wifi camera view from my insulated FigBox. This is part of my plan to keep an eye on the figlets while traveling. I plan to install an automatic drip irrigation system as well. I am looking for recommendations on drip emitters and connections for a 1/2 drip line that won't leak. I will be using this indoors and can't have any water leaking where the connections plug into the 1/2 inch drip line. Any recommendations?

Learning irrigation over the next few months. I'll keep you in mind as I go
I am still learning how to use this forum. I thought I replied to you properly but I must have forgotten to hit the post reply. 😂.

Let's compare notes when you want to start. I am using a drip irrigation system now for outdoors I am happy with and I have learned a lot about drip dry irrigation for indoor use the last few days.

Trying something new. I could not post a video of my drip irrigation set up so I am including a link to the video. The description is below. We'll see how this posts.

...For two seasons I have been testing this 12 drip manifold system and it works really well. This is a custom build using city pressure. No pressure reducer is required. There are 4 heads in this build for a total of 48, 4gph drip lines. Using 1/4 tubing of varying length, this flexible configuration works well for my my plant locations, which changes during the season.

Northern Virginia, Zone 7a/b.

That looks awesome. I'm still learning all the bascs right now but basically I'll be using a system that pulls from rainwater OR city water, depending on my needs. 3 275 IBC containers collecting the water. I am going to include an injection system for fertilizer. Has to go to food forest A, backyard garden, and the container garden. Food forest B will fend for itself but it also wouldn't hurt to have a hose run there too.

Probably going to bury the hose underground until it gets to its general destination

While I'm new, my friend Brandon is my engineer for most things around here. I've already tasked him with irrigation so I'll see if I can bribe him to make a post here and share info. That's harder than it sounds. Here are our projects currently, without adding more to the list!
