re: Water from sprinkler head to bed?
Posted by Puffoluffagus on 10/5/26 at 11:39 am to Puffoluffagus
Another thought, if you really dont care about the other zone(on if it waters anything or not) and you just want to water the bed. You could change out those rotor heads to ones that let you turn off the head. You could still plumb a line to the bed and put whatever head you want out there to water the bed. Janky way of doing it but gives you a other option

It's a rotor head that cannot water this particular bed.
The zone it's in isn't very important to my yard overall.
If doing this makes the other sprinklers in that zone not work, I will not be bothered.
It really depends on how many heads you already have on the zone and its fairly easy to get a gpm measurement that decently accurate doing the bucket test from a hose bib.
Ive never used a retro drip kit. But if you dont mind that the beds get watered at the same time as the other zone, then I would consider just tap into the main line supplying that head and running it to the bed and doing one of those drip kits that lowers the psi and running drip for the bed. You still might technically run into the problem of over watering/underwatering depending on how long you are running the system.
Its usually why its better for it be on its own zone/timer etc. I have a few landscape beds with drip irrigation, but I have it running from hose bib on timers. If I had endless money and time, id run a zone from my main irrigation and set up a new valve.

What does the sprinkler head currently water and what type of head is it(spray or rotor head)?
There's quite a few solutions depending on what you want or how much you care about wasting water. The whole purpose of doing something like drip is to provide enough water without wasting and also helps avoid spraying the foliage.
With that said, if you dont want drip irrigation...then you can either:
1) Adjust the spray head if its a rotor to include watering the bed.
2) You can find the line the sprinkler head is attached to and tap into it and add another head. Whether or not this is recommended is dependent on how many heads you have on the zone already, how many gpm your water supply provides, and what type of sprinkler heads are on that line.
Basically you dont wont to add another head if your zone cant support it, otherwise you'll lose pressure and the heads wont pop up. Its also generally not recommended to mix and match heads on a zone. Pop up spray heads put out much more water than a rotor. So whereas a rotor may need to run for 30mins to a hour to provide enough water, the pop up sprayer may only need 10-15mins of run time. So you'll either end up over watering or underwatering certain areas if you have a mix. This may or may not bother you.
3) you can add a whole another zone to provide irrigation to that bed($$$)

What about putting down Scott’s Turf Builder for new sod which has a high phosphorus content for root development.?
Usually your sod is already fertilized well. I wouldn't touch anything for the new sod at this time of year until next spring. Just water and focus on it getting established and rooted.

I wouldn't do any preemergent for the fall. The spring would probably be okay. Premergent may effect how your sod roots and may slow the rooting process down, causing you to water more.
I would check in Feb and see if your sod is fairly rooted(it should be) and then if so, go for it on the premergent.

re: Battery powered tools: Ryobi vs. Kobalt
Posted by Puffoluffagus on 9/2/26 at 5:16 am to High C
I think for diy around the house the ryobi tools are fine. I chose ryobi because it was the initialy battery system I bought into and just made sense to keep with it. I also tend to shop at home depot more than I do lowes.
But I have a plethora of their lawn tools(mower, blower, weed eater, hedgers, pole saw etc) and general tools(saws, sanders, drills, hammer drills, multi tool, nailers, plumbing etc). Ive never personally have had any issues with any of the tools themselves and they've always got the job done. There's certainly a handful of batteries that seem they reaching their end of life(6+ years old) but i have so many because they always seem to run deals on tools and battery purchases. So hasn't been an issue.
Granted, these tools dont get abused. The lawn tools get used the most and I've done several projects around the house, small renos without any problems.
Would buy again

Had a pocket door for a bathroom. It broke and was a major pain to fix.
I have two pocket doors in my bathroom. They are slightly out of level, so either are difficult to stay closed all the way(without locking) or never full open all the way. I havent fixed them, because im sure I have to take the door casing trim off to get to the mechanisms to level it. I would love to jist get rid of them instead.

I doubt you'll get upgraded often out of ATL. Aside from the RUCs if you can use them, it is nice to get the auto upgrade to comfort plus even on international flights as a platinum.
re: Best Baby Monitor
Posted by Puffoluffagus on 7/13/26 at 4:45 pm to AZTiger7072
We used the vava monitor ones
:
vava monitor
Picture was good. Sound quality was good. Due to the constant use, we did replace the monitor itself one time due to battery life. At this point our second monitor is going on 3 years, we've used it total for 7 years now.
We have two cameras(two kids) and you can rotate them between the kids. Obviously you can turn the screen off and just have the sound come through at night. The camera itself doesnt have any bright light keeping the kids up(you'll find that some brands theres the annoying blue light from the camera itself that seems to light up the whole room).
I also like thats its closed circuit. Makes it easier when youre traveling with the kids, you can quickly take the monitor and cameras with you a d set it back up in seconds.

re: Grill Talk: Can some of you share your recent experiences buying grills?
Posted by Puffoluffagus on 7/9/26 at 5:55 pm to DiamondDog
I love my recteq byb. But I wouldn't use it as a grill per se. Even with sear plates etc I dont think its does a great job with steaks/burgers etc. I still use my small charcoal grill for that.
If i were looking to do both, I would look into the recteq dual fire.
Or do a combo set up.
But I smoke on the pellet grill usually 1-2 week - chicken thighs, beer can chicken, ribs, pizza, pork butt, brisket, etc. Used to fry my turkeys and now im all in on smoked turkey
Don't regret the purchase and it definitely opens up a lot more than just buying another grill itself. Easy to fire it up and get it going .

re: Has anyone tried GLP1 Medication on Facebook? PIC
Posted by Puffoluffagus on 7/7/26 at 11:15 am to Islandboy777
They are just compounded versions of the glp1 medications - either semaglutide or tirzepatide and usually with vitamin b6 mixed for fda purposes. And yes, at those prices its usually microdoses which might be fine for some people though many will offer the full dose as well.
Unfortunately its hard to know the source, so you don't know the quality. Some people alsojust order the meds from China or compounding pharmacy to avoid the middleman mark up. If youre not worried about quality control
Or you can just get it direct from the manufacturer as well for a steeper cost.

Now next question, did this happen on the night of the 4th? If so, probably someone was using their gun as part of the fireworks.
I noticed it this morning.
But after talking about it, i think it probably happened on Thursday. When the i talked to the cops about where I had been that day, they seem fairly convinced it happened out at one of the places I was at. So I must have just not paid attention on friday or Saturday, which to be fair I didnt drive my truck those two days.
