10 mil. Chapin Twin Wall comes in a 3000 ft roll which should just about
fit your needs, if you order it, get the 12" hole spacing and .45
GPM/100' tubing, this 3000' will run nicely off a good 4" 20gpm house
well, use 1.5" lay flat hose for head line and you can feed it all from
the well with a 3/4" garden hose, don't forget the inline filter and
preshure regulator, this setup will deliver about one quart of water
every 12" every hour, if your water supply is too small they have
connectors with shutoffs for about a dollar more and will allow you to
water a few rows at a time, this setup can be built for under $250.
