I had not even thought of that, but it has the advantage that
the drip lines would all radiate from the same point, so the
water flow should be even, right?

Yes you can adjust the drip head or adjust the flow at the manifold.

I have large tress )Palm and African Sumac) and Foxtail grass.

Is this foxtail grass sprouting up all over my lawn?

Can't really tell. Your's kind of reminds of "sea oats", but they
only grow on coastal beach sand dunes. Best I know.

This is what I call foxtail.

Ah, I see. Similar, but probably different.

My "stuff" grows wild in balls dotted all over the place.

Do they get the soft "plumes" in the spring or are they always the
same, as in your photo?

Chances are yours will have a reasonably shallow root ball. Easy to
remove if they bother you.

A local nursery will gladly help you identify them.

I think so. They have long tufts that eventually fall off.
I don't bother removing them because they don't hurt anything.

This type of grass is great for landscape. A drip line is all you
need. Speaking for foxtail grass.

Here is a picture I snapped today of the grass that might be foxtail:

There *are* "plumes" and the grass grows in clumps.

They're kind of blue, when well watered - but not when not.
(My sprinklers are not fully working yet ... but I'm working on them
as we speak.)

PS: Picturepush seems to now require registration, so, I'm trying
flickr instead.

Definitely an ornamental grass. Which variety is a WAG.

This is "Blue Fescue"...
