Two End-Line Shrub Heads Dry: Finding Buried Line Kink Without Digging Bed

2 non-functioning shrub heads (elevated, not pop-ups) at end of station. 8" deep in flower bed. First bad head: no break/leak → problem upline. No leakage evidence anywhere. Only waters 10 min/week. Wants tips to find problem with minimal digging.

Diagnostic Steps

1. Remove heads, check filters.
2. Dig at closest working head to valve. Push fish tape (or similar) through pipe toward problem heads. "My guess is the pipe has been kinked during planting or tilling of the soil. If this is the case you should feel the kink with the fish tape."

Shallow lines in beds are prone to kinking from cultivation. Fish tape acts as a probe to locate the restriction without excavating the whole bed.
