It's what I use. Very durable and long-lived. No protruding emitters 
to catch on things when dragging it around. Almost never clogs if 150 
- 200 mesh filters are used. You can also order custom emitter 
spacing. T-tape ends up in little bits all over the farms I've seen 
it used on. If you're going to use plastic, might as well use plastic 
that lasts.

I use 4-foot wide permanent beds with 4 drip lines running down each 
bed. I arrange so that emitters are staggered for even watering.

Use 1" poly tubing cut into 4" pieces, fold over the ends of your 
1/2" dripperline and slip the 1" poly tubing over the end to make 
your end. Simply slip off the 1" tubing and unfold the dripperline to 
flush the line.

I get it from www.dripworks.com
