Under the cloak of night, a fertilizer injector is installed and Math is performed (Gasp!). 23 oz of Growth products Triple12 was put inside along with blue food color to check flow. Figure out the flow was something like 87.5 gph by checking multiplying the drip tape flow by number of holes. 14 lines with 25 holes in each line which equals 350 holes total. multiply that by .25 gph which equals 87.5 gallons per hour. the white flow disc was installed and the food coloring was added to the mix to see that it was actually flowing out of the canister since the canister always stays full. some other sorcery was used by my dad to figure out how many oz of the Triple12 to add.
