Tabby- are you talking about drip tape? If so, we also use the drip tape from Dripworks in our veggie gardens. However, I've resisted putting it in the flower beds because of it's inability to do anything other than straight lines. My beds meander all over the place, as do my plants. How do you get around that problem?
I agree about the hoses- they just don't last for us. That's why I'm asking because I'm hoping we're just not buying the right ones! Under the mulch they spring leaks that cause flooding in that area, then dry spots. Then trying to rearrange the whole lot when a new plant gets mixed in
If we leave it over the mulch the sun dries them out and cracks the hose within a month or two.
