Hey there I posted on gvgo and got some great ideas, but maybe someone out there on this larger forum has an idea not yet recommended. Looking to build a new watering system fed from creek water, 2000 sq ft patch. Looking for trial and error help. If you had to do it all over from scratch....

Is there power near the creek? What irrigation do you plan on using?

I have an electric pump half way (60 yards) with a pressure tank. Thinking of rainbird maxipaw as advised on gvgo, with mainfold. I used flat hoses, soaker style last year. System will be on a timer as I work shifts. Timers to avoid? Features to look for? Misters for hot days? Want to purchase when in US in march, crazy difference in price.

manifold not mainfold, manifold 20 % of price in US compared to Canada, thats crazy, even with tarrif crossing border, difference is unbelievable.

I would contact Tom Privitera at extremepumpkinstore.com(because I don't have the answer). He sells some pumps and won't bullshit you if he doesn't have the answer. He also has a lot of contacts who have answers he doesn't(a rare situation).
