    I might try that, we have 3 areas fed from the one main line, i suppose if i put an inline tap on the one i want to use for vegies and turn the tap on half way i could then use drippers and it would reduce the pressure on that line and still work ok on the other 2. ( i think )

    After reading previous threads on here i think i will give the vegie planting a miss,
    or shut off one part of the garden from the biocycle.

    The difference between light and hard is that you can sleep with the light on.

    We have an Aqua-Nova system from Everhard Industries. This is a 2 - tank system with an anaerobic tank and an aerobic tank with an air pump. The installers told us that it is OK to use the outflow to irrigate things like fruit trees, but that root crops were a no-no. The dispersal system is a network of subsoil dripper pipes in a 10 x 20 metre bed which grows fantastic flowers all the year round, in spite of the fact that we have had no rain to speak of for about three months. Occasionally it can get slightly whiffy but it is not a problem.

    We have a separate veggie garden further up the block.

    I think moving the vegie garden is the best option for me as well, i wouldn't want anyone getting sick from eating dodgy vegies
