Thank you all for the responses. Part of the reason I am doing this is because I have an almost hardpan layer 6-8 inches down that goes to about 2.5 - 3 feet. I finally realized that my house was built on "sawgrass muck". It is real dark and really compacted old swamp lakebed but just below that is a very distinct change to bright white virgin well draining sand.
I bought a gas powered auger and an extension bit to bust everything up. I want to remove the existing sprinkler lines so I don't have to worry about drilling through them when I am working. Luckily the last 20% of trees I put in I already dug out "burying a body" sized holes, got through that layer, and amended with pine fines and perlite. It will be so nice to know exactly where everything is buried and have it customized.
I also have watering restrictions with the county for 1 day a week so I will link all of the grass zone sprinklers out front to one zone and keep the basic pop up sprinklers in there. The rest I should be able to dial in however I want.
There isn't any grass to mow around the planted area so it is looking like I will just put hose bibs around the yard to hook up the irrigation tubing which can run above ground. The mulch or perennial peanut/sunshine mimosa ground cover can cover it up. Maybe I will put in an optional valved bypass at the beginning of each zone or just after the pump/in front of the valves to hook up a small fertigation tank? A separate zoned hose bib line in different locations for a garden hose hook up?
My irrigation is hooked up to a well with a submersible pump. I don't have a bladder tank or an above ground pump with a pressure switch. I have a sprinkler control box with different zones that tells the valve to open and the relay to kick on the pump. The house is on city water so the well is for irrigation only. I remember my dad telling me he got an "extra deep well" put in. Do I need an inline filter for the micro sprinklers?
Here is the guts of the system.
Well with submersed pump
Relay
Controller
I figured I would just move all of the valves close to the pump in a single manifold. Right now they are spread all over the yard. Seems strange but maybe there is a reason for it.
