Hi, i am looking to change my irrigation setup for the next season, Currently have the overhead sprinkler setup
I am looking at going with T-Tape ( drip tape) and possibly a Dosatron fertilizer injector.
Can anyone who uses the T-Tape ( drip tape) please tell me what size that they use, did a bit of a search on them and there are many different sizes, kind of got lost.
And for those who are using the Dosatron fertilizer injectors, which ones do you use on these, i found heaps of different ones and again kind of got lost in it all. Patch size is 32 feet x 59 feet 1900 square feet (think that is worked out right).
Any information on these two would be greatly appreciated. Cheers. Peter.

I run drip tape with a Dosateon in my patch. There are different ways to do this but what I do is run the 1 1/4" trunk/supply line perpendicular to the main so that the drip tape itself runs parallel with the main. I space blue stripe toro drip tape at 12" and do one "zone" (or trunkline) per plant (1000 sqft). I don't think it matters what Dosatron your get but a cheaper siphon injector will not work.

Cheers for the information, appreciated. Sound like a good setup, I will have to do a bit more research on the Dosatron, just not sure on which one to go with yet.

We are running a Dosatron D45re15 (1" in and out) with multiple zone valves. Probably over kill but has a great turn down ratio and handles up to 20 gpm. We will run our T-tape parallel with the secondaries controlling five rows of tape per zone (25 rows total covering 50 x 100 area.
just how we do it lots of other options out there!
