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

does anyone have any experience with dripperline- 1/2" poly tubing with 12" spaced emitters (1/2 gph)? I think the manufactured name is Dripperline, not sure who makes it... trying to get more info and feedback from people who have used it. I hear it lasts years, a lot longer than drip tape.
thanks
