OK did a soil test and all is not lost (thank god) the PH is only a bit off and after sitting dormant for the majority of the off season the soil itself seems to be salvagable, new project in the works for the coming season is a rain barrel (possably x2) system with a pump of some kind to feed the irrigation system its going to be trial an error until i get the kinks worked out but the old noodle is in overdrive so i should have something ready by the time spring comes around wish me luck.

Once all the kinks are worked out ill try to post up a video how to for everyone in case im not the only person with this problem.

Choksaw- so glad your soil test came out ok and you can reuse the MM. cheers

Rain Barrels sound great. Will they provide you with a long term solution to your watering needs? :?:

We get plenty of rain here on the OR Coast, but it is all during late fall, winter and spring. We have had 26 inches of rain since the first of Sept with more to come thru April or so (we hope it slows in April) Summers we usually have little rain.

Again, glad your MM is still useable.
