I'm relatively new to production. Output is starting to pile up (good problem) and I could use a little guidance.

Weed consumer for 20+ years. Late last year, I discovered Frenchy. That—and having a steady supply of trim become available—led to my washing a lot of material this year (so far).

My process up until this point has been to wash and then thoroughly dry it on cardboard. Then I fashioned an envelope out of parchment paper and poured the loose hash in there. I have been collecting those envelopes in a box in the freezer. Air flow greatly minimized, but definitely not airtight.

These envelopes are starting to pile up and I need to think about the next step in this process. My goal is to have a collection for the long term... so long term storage is what I'm aiming for.

I am considering a couple options.

The first is to buy a decent set of hockey-puck-sized-and-shaped glass jars and just transfer the loose material into those and keep them in the freezer indefinitely. Keep some out for regular consumption and refill it once a month or so.

The second idea is to blend various strains and then press all this stuff into temple balls (or even little cubes if I can make a form). But, with many, many grams of material spread over two dozen strains, this option will take a while... and that's assuming it all presses nice.

I prefer option two but bag setup is 45, 160, 190, and 220 and my material is kiefy trim. From what I've been reading, I shouldn't get my hopes up too high about my hash pressing into nice temple balls. It might, and it might not. The material I'm talking about is from the 45 bag, and I very thoroughly rinsed it and there's no visible indication of plant material contamination in anything.

What would you do?

Recently had some patio pavers installed. When the guys were setting the guides with some spikes, they nailed one of them right through a sprinkler line.

I discovered it when I turned the sprinkler back on and one head had low pressure alongside what looked like what I'd describe as an underground faucet. I thought it'd be a fairly quick fix—just dig it up and repair it—but after getting in there, I discovered this rat's nest.

The first picture shows the placement of all this, the second shows where the puncture enters (it goes all the way through the pipe). Talk about having a tumor on your spine right next to your heart and about to touch your lungs.

As you can see, there punctured pipe runs close and parallel to another pipe, and above those is that T-shaped situation of other pipes. They are all unaffected. Only the one is punctured.

I tried patching it with a patch and zip ties. Obviously that didn't work but it's what I had immediately available.

Any advice for using clamps, water weld, or something else that doesn't involve cutting out the pipe? It's so close to the other that runs parallel to it that I don't think there'd even be room for any coupler or anything wide. Plus, I'd like to avoid totally destroying the paved area if possible.

Thanks.

Edit: Fixed, see updated pic below.

Amassing collection, need some direction

Any advice for fixing this puncture?
