What are my options for fixing this chewed up drip irrigation setup?

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.
yeah .. and if you aren't worried about it leaking like that you could just
leave it! ... after all the purpose of it is to leak/drip water at the root
area to water the plants anyway ... LOL
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.
I'd be interested if you find something that doesn't leak.
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!
cool!
