I would run the soaker hose in 2 parallel lines on the outside edge of the row just
outside the drip line. dont bury it, put it under the mulch. use a Y splitter and
then just keep adding soakers til you got the length you need. Ingrid

I am going to plant about 30 5-gal trees which means their small. Maybe 5
foot tall and only about an inch in diameter. Anyway I don't want to put a
well around them so would I go with a 1/2" drip line which are standards for
a drip system and 1/2" soaker hose which I would cut in 6 foot sections and
rap it around each tree which would give me about a 2 foot diameter. (Is
that too big?) I would plant it about 2 or 3 inches under the ground or lawn
and hook them together like you would a regular drip system. Am I on the
right track?

Thanks
Richard
