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...


I was just agreeing with you, or were you fishing for somebody to say 'of
course you would have the skill.........'?


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

What is this bubble jet of which you speak?
