Another problem I have is with the 'cup' developing a stinky quaility and then their Lab likes to tear them up and eat them. I am putting the final touches on a misting system that will run more well water into the cups and I am hoping this will minimize the problem.

The system will be using almost a 1000' of poly line and about 600 emiters, the largest system I have installed so far. Running the main line and installing the misters is really taking a toll on my arms and legs because these are well established plantings. It has been too warm to wear long pants and long sleeves, our temps have been in the mid 80's, unseasonably warm. Good thing I like my work.
