This is the DitchWitch CX24 in action. It is the best walk behind trencher I have ever owned. It is fast and easy to maneuver. You can run this machine with one hand. It also jumps trenches easy. If you are considering buying one, I would recommend this machine.

I am going to show you the best way to tape your glue and primer cans together. This tip is really simple and it is a tip irrigators have been doing forever.
When you first get a new glue and primer can, quarts or smaller, tape them together wit duct tape. This will make it a lot easier when carrying them around.
I have found that going around three times is the best. it holds it together best and last the longest. Something I didn't mention in the video is each time you go around, move down about a half inch. This will widen the taped area out and make it more stable.

In this video I show you one of the best tips I've seen when using tape. The first time I saw a guy do this I thought it was a little ridiculous, but then I tried it and now I think it is genius.
The tape tip is, when you are finished using it, fold the end over to make a little tab. That way when you need to use it again you can peel it off easier. It might take two seconds to do, but will save you time and frustration with the next peace you want to tear off.

Its the sprinkler head. Here I give you a quick look into a Hunter Pro spray sprinkler head. I show you the sprinkler head body and inner riser. I also show you an adjustable spray nozzle by Hunter. Typically what you will see on your sprinkler system in your yard is a four inch pop up spray head like this one here. The sprinkler head my be attached to pvc pipe by a fixed cut off riser or a swing joint like this hunter six inch swing joint. One of the things I do point out is that the nozzle and sprinkler head are two separate parts. The sprinkler nozzle installs on the top of the sprinkler head and will determine how much water you put out and how far it will spray. You can check out Hunter sprinkler heads here:

This is another example of why it is important to dig more when you are doing a sprinkler system repair. when you dig more of the area out you may discover other things that need to be fixed or you may find a better way to repair the leak. Another important thing to do is to ask questions like, what kind of sprinklers where here to begin with, what type of sprinklers are here now, how did the installer install it, what does this area need as far as water is concerned, is there are better way to do this? Questions like this will help you perform the repair better than just fixing the first thing you see. Take the time to think about the best way to fix the problem and then work hard and fix it.
Here is a video with another example of why it is important to dig more: https://youtu.be/Py1TgrTjZGc
