What are my options for fixing this chewed up drip irrigation setup?

Well, this 3/4" and 1/4" irrigation plastic is all torn up (I'm not sure why): http://www5.picturepush.com/photo/a/...g/13410428.jpg So, I'd like to start fresh (especially as it's easier to build than to repair), particularly since I have never worked with the stuff before. Every spring when I turn on the watering system again, I go through to see what needs to be replaced, and what is still working well. I guess after setting this up originally, I'm just so used to repairing something that wears out I just do it automatically. One thing about that tubing is that it tends to wear out at the point that you have a dripper or plug, so I've figured out that I just have to cut off about a 1/2 inch where it was connected by worn out and re-attach the original dripper. btw, that turbing looks like it was damaged by a shovel. I'd probably just cut out the damaged section and connect the 2 pcs with a straight pronged connector if doing that wouldn't make it so the sprinkler on the other end too short. Good luck on your new set-up! -- Natural Girl //(**)\\ |
