I would like to re-use drip tape as much as possible to save both money and waste.  I ran tape this fall on lettuces and greens and several of them got cut/nicked when the crops were being harvested.  I hate to throw away 300 foot lines just because of one or two small cuts.  Is there any way to mend a cut drip tape?
 

Same way you fix a big hole, as earlier discussed: cut the ends even and put a splice in. I posted a link to a page showing one earlier today; if it didn't come through to you, let me know, and I'll send it again.
