Here is a pic of the wolf 1332. About 11 feet long with the 1st 2 secondaries on each side being 3 ft.Pulled 2 females off already. This morning I found cucumber beetles. First time I have seen these in about 4 years. Maybe 8- 10 of them despite spraying triaziacide 2 days ago, but it did rain yesterday morning here. So I sprayed again despite the sun coming up benefits outweighed the risk. I will switch back to orthomax spray for teh next application in a few days, thats what I used the past 4 years. All secondaries are buried as well as the main. I pulled out the soaker hoses and will make 1 more attempt with them to see if feeding from both ends will work to get water throughout. Otherwise its going to be soaker hose dripline with pressure compensating built in emmiters from irrigation direct. Silt fence working well for a wind break.
