Any of you that use T-Tape or other drip tapes how far apart are you running your rows. I am kinda thinking 18 inches apart. I'll be running the 8 inch spaced tape. Is 18 to far or can it go farther apart? So far it looks like 2800ft of tape. Thaks in advance. Rick

Rick, If you contact drip works, they will actually design you a system for free, atleast they use to do it for free, then buy what ya need, but atleast you will have an idea. I had mine 15 inches apart, so I think you are on the right track, hopefully someone with more experience will answer.

Hi Rick,
I went with 18" and I think this is a good distance. If you are on a very sandy soil then maybe closer, or if you have a lot of clay then maybe further. However, I think for most giant pumpkin tuned patches 18" should be fine.
Take a look at my diary..

I like to run them with the secondaries so they are not always getting in the way...
