What make drip do you use?

I bought a similarly priced knock off of t-tape this season from our professional produce farming supplier. Can't remember the name. Boy, was it crap. We had seams open on us over and over again and it plugged very early. Never had this with t-tape or the Israeli stuff.

Thanks Allan in WV

I run one line on top of the ground between twin rows. I use a dripline with close emitters for onions, 6" usually. I suspect different soil types, locations may do things differently, but that's what works well here.

Bill - Do you bury your drip or put it on the surface? Do you just
use a couple of runs per bed or a run per row? -Allan in WV
