Dear Nan,
The emitters that you punch in can also be pressure regulated. Putting
drip on a slope is not easy. Pressure doies build at the lowest point,
and so to avoid that it is good to run the drip line so that it ends or
the furthest distance from the source is at the lowest point,
Jusrt some observations of mine from laying a lot of pipe on hills and
berms.
