During the summer, I notice that the sprinkers do not water in one area and one of the plants is looking pretty toasty.  Fortunately it is drought tolerant and doesn&#8217;t die.\n<\/p>\n<p>\nSo this weekend I decide to add another sprinker to the bed.  I dig a hole where I know the sprinker line runs and where I want to add a T intersection.  But then what to do?  I can just cut a small section out and plug the T in.  The sides will not bend for me to add the T snugly.  My next thought is to see if I can just dig up one end of the line and hope to pull the line out enough and push it back when I need to fit it in.  But when I dig up the sprinker at the end I realize that this is not the end and is in fact comes from where the sprinkerler water main is.\n<\/p>\n<div class=\"photo\">\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/pictures.hamzy.info\/blog-photo-10012005(001).jpg\" alt=\"sprinker-after\"><\/img>\n<\/div>\n<p>\nSo I sit and think for a while and come up with this solution.  I glue the elbows into both ends of the original pipe.  Then I glue the rest of the contraption together and then I glue the other sides of the elbows and push the contraption into place.  Phew, it was tough but it worked enough.  After it dried, I ran the sprinkler section to test for leaks.  Fortunately, there were none.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I redid the plants in the bed in front of the house in the spring.
