Sometimes when using a goof plug to stop a leak in drip irrigation the leak is still there after it's plugged. Here is a tip for how to use the fat end of the plug so that the hole is really plugged and the leak is stopped. If you use this method and the hole is still leaking, you'll need to cut out the hole section of the mainline and put in a mainline connector instead. I use E Z barbed connectors instead of compression connectors. If you have sliced your mainline with a shovel or other tool, you will need to cut out the section and put in a mainline connector because goof plugs can't help with this type of injury to the line. -mary
