I'm a novice with drip tape, and have a problem I wonder if there is a simple
solution for. I use black John Deere T-tape, laid on the surface in my
hoophouses, about 40 feet long. The problem is that the pieces move, quite a
bit, presumably from expanding and contracting in the heat and cold (no doubt
exacerbated by cold well water). I've got ground staples every 4-6 feet, but
I can't say as it has solved the problem. I'd rather not bury the tape,
though I suppose I could. Any other solutions to wandering drip tape?
