hey all i have some 1/2 inch poly pipe and i wanted to cap one end and spiral it starting inside close to the plant and working outwards and drill bunch of holes so i could just pump water into pipe and water the hole bag.. i have seen people with them in pictures and i can for the life of me figure out how to get this pipe to spiral nicely and stay... been trying to bend it and heat it with a heat gun and that’s just stupid ... anyone made one like that befor and can give me some pointer i would be super happy and appreciate it a lot as i’ve been dicking with this for way to long

Use a 1g milk jug or the like as a mold. Basically anything solid about the side your coil needs to be. Pre-drill all your holes. I'm guessing the heat gun should warm.up the tubing. Wrap quickly, then pour cold.water on it after happy. You may need to re-warm it up once more after your happy with the wrapping. Then do the cold water.

Use spikes to secure the tubing in place. Looks about 3/4 to 1" tubing.

I've done something like that. I just left the whole coil in a hot (black) car in the sun for a few hours. It made it super pliable, so I took it out, formed it, then sprayed it with the garden hose to freeze it in the shape you want it. Works pretty well and is cheap and easy.
