Finnsky...I use drip tape...It works very well...Use a timer..It lets you avoid wet leaves and delays leaf disease issues..I space them 10- 12 inches apart. Based on the calculated output you can figure out how long to water. I usually figure @ 700 gallons = 1nch of water per 1000 sq ft..Good luck..Mark
