This is going via Timbucktoo. If going to the trouble of buying and


laying




the hose, connecting it and punching the holes why not go the whole


way and



insert spray jets?

Wouldn't that be much more expensive? To install (immovable) spray


jets in multiple beds sounds pricey.




no the plastic ones are cheap, a few dollars for a pack of 50

This project so far is under


$10 and PVC pipes are movable. Plus not sure I would have the skill


to install spray jets.



You're right, screwing a threaded barb into a hole in polypipe is probably

beyond you.


Mmm.. people on this NG are not usually rude...


Guess I don't know what a "bubble jet" is. I was assuming it involved digging a trench and laying pipe...
