Thanks for the how to- get you a 'Hori-Hori' (Japanese Gardening Knife) and it will make quick and easy work of digging small root born holes

appreciate you showing me how to replace this.

You really only have to dig down about an inch and then get a pair of channel lock pliers to loosen the head. Then you remove the entire unit and replace. You don’t have to dig all the way down to the fitting. You can take this down to about a three minute job.

Why not just replace the tip/head?

This helped a lot. Thank you!

Only about 3x the cost just 7 years later. I think they call that inflation!

9 minutes of digging.

Thanks for sharing, what did you do at the end with the screw driver?

It takes 10 minutes if the soil around the head isn't rocky.

Did you shut the water off first?
