DIG ¼” 100’ MICROLINE™ Dripline - Enhanced 6” Emitter Spacing, UV-Resistant, Perfect for Diverse Garden Layouts (Brown) SHB106

i have used this for my garden the last 3 years......

Pretty solid build quality but also somewhat flexible. Been out in the sun for about 6 months and doesn't show signs of UV damage. Pretty solid product with good water flow.

This Dripline tubing at a 1/4" with 6" spacing is perfect for placing around small tree trunks such as my Limelight Hydrangea and other small flower plants in my garden. The beauty of this type of emitter is you can make several circles around the plant if it needs lots of water like hydrangeas or you can make them small to fit under a Coleus plant with a small stem. 100' sounds like a lot but you'd be surprised how fast it can be used in your garden.

So I bought a house with 4 sprinkler circuits / valves. 2 were for grass, 2 for plants and shrubs. Those latter 2 I wanted converted to drip because ... well, lots of reasons.I knew nothing about sprinklers. I grew up where we used rain, and it all intimidated me. So instead of replacing a valve with a drip pressure regulating one, I tried Orbit's 4 and 8 port conversion manifolds that screw onto the 1/2 inch risers. I think I like the 8 port better because you can individually control each line.Anyhow, I tried all combinations of different drippers on the lines for rainbird, orbit, etc. Those things about the size of a nickel that attach to the 1/4 inch tubing, and you can buy for 1gph, 2gph etc. They don't work because air would get in the system and lock the flow. I could purge the air out at the manifolds, and then get a drip drip drip, but it would just stop again a later day until I purged again. And some manifolds would work, then not, and others worked.So I donated all those nickel sized drippers and tried this. Omg. Life had color again and my depression lifted after months of fiddling around. Within a few seconds any air that got into the system is pushed out of the line and the drip just works. If I want double the flow, I just coil a bit more of this line around the plant and/or turn up the valve on the manifold.My system is about 80 psi from the city, with those typical rainbird 3/4 inch valves at my main manifold that run off a timer. 1/2 inch pvc buried around the yard off of that. Then 1/2 inch risers every 6 feet where I had spray heads. Replaced the spray heads with Orbit 4 or 8 port drip conversion manifolds to 1/4 inch line. Use barbed connectors to this DIG line. Then a barbed goog plug at the end. Didn't try any DIG conversion manifolds, if they even make them?

By more then you think you will need cause the lines have to be close together 5” spacing works great for my veggies, I found that if you circle tomatoes plants (and blueberries) 3 times they will get enough water with a timer set for about an hour definitely saves on the water bill

This year, my big yard project has been installing drip irrigation in the many perennial beds around my property. This emitter line is high quality and works just as it should. It’s sturdy and easy to cut to fit your needs. If you are installing misters or sprinkler heads, be sure to dip the cut ends of this tubing in almost boiling water before fitting them into the sprinkler heads to save your fingers and ensure a good fit so that the sprinkler heads don’t pop off when you turn the water on (so frustrating!)… I had to learn this the hard way and discovered the hot water trick from watching YouTube videos. Good product at a competitive price.

The media could not be loaded. The quality of the drip irrigation is all the rave! Love that I was able to buy more because i definitely needed it. The original kit comes with 50ft but I was only able to use it for one of my beds and not both. I was able to add the extra drip line to my second garden bed extremely easy to install. I found that once the line is maneuvered to where you want after a few days the heat helps it stay in place. You do need more stakes as it does not come with any! Water pressure is perfect and it’s not too stiff. I used the connectors from the original kit and everything fit perfectly together.

Waters my large garden all at once, great quality. Removes the majority of labor required to consistently water plants. Also saves water. Great for desert gardening
