Default What are my options for fixing this chewed up drip irrigationsetup?

Well, the first tape worked, sort of...

Then, near nightfall, I wrapped it with electrical tape,
which again, worked sort of ...

In both cases, the tape worked, but the water squeezed out at
the edges of where the tape was.

I think, if I used more (or better sticking) tape, it might
have sealed solid. As it is, I can see that I might get away
with a combination of plastic wrap and tape, on a dry hose,
so I'll need daylight to continue.

Interestingly, even with the leaks, I could hear a gurgling
sound deep in the bushes 300 feet from where I had taped, so,
I think this is the only major leak!
