Which one is best for the AG patch? Do you try to follow the vines or a circle pattern? Suggestions please.
Thanks

my only concern with that picture will growing the vines over the soaker hoses be low enough to burry the vines?

Tim, next time you talk w/ JVH...ask him about the drip system from the Amish farm!!! He stated somewhere, that the overhead watering he did this year was what took him down, and the Amish farm drip system stuff sounds very inexpensive!!! Hope this helps!! Peace, Wayne

The drip tape is a better application method I think over the soaker hoses but the key to both is having a good filter on your system, if not you will clog up the hoses depending on what you put through them. Soaker hoses are easier to put down as compared to drip tape.

what do you mean "clog up the hoses depending on what you put through them"?

Jeremy, if the particles left in suspension in your drip system, are larger than you emitter openings are, then the particles will clog up the emitters!!! Hope this helps!!! Peace, Wayne

some folks use river water, pond water, well water, etc. and they typically have particles in them. so it depends on your water source.
