Default Rural Irrigation/Remote Faucets Methods ??

Thanks for the field report. Maybe it does last a while?

I laid a "temporary line" some 200 ft with a 50' side branch
with
mostly 3/4" PVC (white) on top of the ground to water newly
planted
trees in 1977. Pulled it about 15 years later. Had a few
leaks each
spring but fittings are very cheap and patching is nothing
but a
hacksaw and tube of glue. Currently using pieces of that
same pipe
for another 'temporary' line to bypass a busted frost free
hydrant
(can't replace without digging through a mass of tree
roots). That
lien is also above ground and only needed one patch this
spring
(usually there are several). Line has been in place over
10 years.
