Re: drip irrigation systems
Burried drip has one major flaw,,,,,, it gets clogged very easily.
Regular drippers, if used right, also get down deep. Try keeping your soil
very lose and water a lot. I live in a hot area so I can give 20 to 30
gallons a night to the roots and the more water given, the deeper it goes.
The burried tape just gives it a head start. But we use so much water for
these puppies drippers on top will work fine and go down low.
