The last big hurdle that I need to figure out is my watering. Because im on city water I have chlorine and PH issues. I plan to overcome them by filling a tank near the house and then pumping the water out to my growing areas.

Because I will have a tank I will be able to let the water gas off (or add a dechlorinator) and adjust the PH every few days to keep the plant happy.

Dan @ Columbus Irrigation has been a huge help in getting me a good reliable system put together. The two tank system idea is what I was going to use to mix and additives however I am going to go with an injector so I don’t use the good/expensive stuff on the garden.

I will have Tank > Pump > 2 zone controller > injector > pumpkin patch
> garden / gourds


Plan to get that ordered this week and set up by the end of the month!
