Pictured here is the reason why I like drip irrigation so much, as you can see it offers even and consistent watering. There is no noticeable difference between the first foot of the drip lines and the last 130 feet in my case. This allows me to ensure all the plants are getting the same amount of water.
The small wet spots you see make it look like the area between the drip lines is not getting watered and while this is the case on the surface, below the surface these cones meet offering complete irrigation where the plants need it the most, at the root zone. Also, this method of irrigation with my black plastic weed block offer some help in weed control since I am not watering the entire patch surface only the areas near the drip lines.
My irrigation is on a timer with a rain sensor so it is hands off from my end for the majority of the season which is a nice feature.
