What kinda drip system are you going with?


Hi Linda,

I will be installing the 1/4" tube with built in emitters as shown here
Thumb of 2016-08-23/Thomas75/04c160
The emitters are spaced every 12" and are set up for 25psi water pressure which is regulated by a pressure regulator that is installed in the main feeder line. The main line is 1/2" and I will have 3 of these feeding 2 each of the drip lines. I have 6 rows 50-foot long in the garden and using 3 feeder lines allows a bit more control over the system. Each main line will be connected to the Auto-Timer and can be turned on/off independent of each other. I will manually control the water this Fall but will connect to an automated system for the Spring/Summer garden. By the way, this is available at Lowe's and other big box stores.
