Re: Fw: starting a new year

Just finished putting in my t-tapes from Dripworks. It's an easy install and 
relatively cheap. Dripworks.com's videos are pretty self explanatory. This 
weekend I'm installing the tornado misters which is not rocket science, and also 
a requirement in my climate.

Jason,
I am intrigued with the TTape. Does it install above or below the soil?
Dripworks has it in some real affordable kits. My soaker hose works well but
it is cheap and needs replaced every couple of years. The tape looks a
little more sturdy.
Thanks!

Debbie,

I've been using the drip tape from Dripworks based on some guidance from
Matt DeBacco at Team Pumpkin. It worked well last year. I don't know how it
compares expense wise to other irrigation systems. I think it is a fairly
efficient way to get a lot of water spread out evenly, which is important if
your water is metered. However in a hot climate a separate fine-misting
system is needed. So for expense sake it might be better to go with a
sprinkler system. If you go on BigPumpkins.com, Pete Mohr's diary from last
year shows his sprinklers and Matt Debacco's shows the drip tape set up.
Also teamp-pumpkin.org shows drip tape setup.
