I haven’t hooked it up yet, but I’m under the impression that it runs continuously. Hence sprinkler pump vs shallow well pump. The one I’m replacing is a shallow well pump that had a pressure switch and I was able to run it continuously with multiple sprinkler heads to manipulate the pressure but that wasted a lot of water. This new pump doesn’t require a pressure tank so I’m hoping it’s a better choice. I’m waiting on our typical last freeze date to install , besides I haven’t planted anything in the garden yet. About March 1st is my planned date to install.
Just gotta watch out to turn pump off before shutting off out let, I have blown a few hoses with them.LOL would love to find one that has pressure cut off with out the air tank. I have A red lion trash pump very happy with it.

mate that little pineapple plants cool as never seen one before
They are easy to start from the top of a pineapple from the store. You just clean the "meat" off it and set it in water. It is too cold here to leave it outdoors year round so I bring it indoors in the winter. The leaves will tear you up though, they are like really sharp hacksaw blades. They take a few years to produce though.

Welcome to RIU. Nice looking garden.
Thank you much!!!! I’m a newb to growing bud, but I was blessed with a “green thumb”. Three things I love doing in spring-summer (gardening, drinking and fishing!)

here’s a pic from my current first run from my indoor garden-autos at 28 days. it’s about to get smelly and a little exciting!

Gophers are like underground rats. You could eat it but its not something americans eat. We are pretty spoiled over here.
Mamma's baby brother was squirrel hunting when he was about 12-13 years old. He had shot 3-4 and was carrying them by their tails. By the time he got home the hair had rubbed off the tails. His brother said something about them being tree-rats, and he got to looking at them, and rats was what he was seeing. He never ate squirrel again. It's amazing what a fluffy tail can do for your reputation.
