We are in heavy soil also and the guy helping me with this suggested an 8" tape so there were more distribution sites. Voles a problem where you live? - mac in NW Missouri

Quoting Vern and Amy <vaspencer AT sisna.com>:
I haven't tried emitters. You might put two rows of tape on each row of
tomatoes and squash, depending on the porosity of your soil (one on each
side of the plants). I did that once, but found with my heavy clay I
can just run the water longer and soak them thoroughly. I think I will
get something heavier than T-tape for raspberries and blueberries for
next year on so I can just place it once and leave it.
