russell, i'm glad to hear that it's worked well for you. the word that
i've gotten from a few installers is that our calcium-rich water plugs
up the emitters, but i can't tell if they're being honest or trying to
push more costly sprinkler systems. anywho, i'd be very interested in
seeing one in situ. email me at during the
day today, and we can arrange a visit. many thanks.

I've been using drip on all of my plants for about 5 years now, love
it!
Just have to watch the power outages resetting my timers, shows by
plants
drying up. If you would like to see, in South Austin, write me.

does anyone have any recommendations for drip irrigation system
installers in austin? our soker hose isn't doing the trick any more,
and i think a drip system would be far more efficient and effective.
thanks.

My experience has been that the little button (x gallons/hr)drippers
pop
from the pressure if you open your tap more than .000235 inches. I've
got
some runs set up with flag type drippers that work OK, but after a
couple
years of trying things with drippers, I'd just use soakers in most
cases.
