One of the changes I will be making to the patch this year is drip irrigation, specifically "drip tape".

Where is the best place to buy drip tape online?

thanks!

I got mine at Berry Hill Drip Irrigation.
Mine is used with a gravity fed water tower. I went with 10mil 5/8" AquaTraxx with .45 emitter size spaced every 12". Each line was spaced 20". The .45 worked well with my low 5.5 psi.
**For each foot of water height you gain approx .43 psi.

A bulk 6000'roll was $160 a couple years back. Then I got the 3/4" x 500' header and parts for about another $280. It was a lot cheaper in bulk than those small kits, but you have a lot. Maybe you can split it with someone like I did?

I use Irrigation King for all my tape and fittings. Their prices are a lot cheaper than everyone else and the same products. Free shipping on orders over $50 which isn't hard to do.

Grew a 1945 lb. Pumpkin last year using over head sprinklers from the local hardware store. invest in your soil first! I have all the drip tape equipment bought 3 years ago thinking that was the ticket and guess what still in the box $400.00 later. Oh yea the wife reminds me. Lol
