I have 15 trees planted this year, and rather than spending 2 hours

some form of dripline would be better.

Does the pipe come with perforations at regular intervals, or do you
have to pierce it where you want?Â* Is there a general standard or do
they all vary per manufacturer.Â* Should you try to adjust it to a
low/constant rate or control it on a timer?



Take a look at LBS , you buy the pipe un-perferated and small drippers
are pushed into the pipe where ever you want them, there is a tool that
makes the holes, its all there in their catalogue
