Drip Tape vs. Dripline: What's Best for your Farm?

Choosing between Drip Tape and Dripline for your farm irrigation system can significantly affect plant health, water efficiency, and overall maintenance.

Adam explores the factors influencing the decision between heavy wall drip line and drip tape. To help with this, we asked Ed from Irritec, one of the world’s premier manufacturer of drip irrigation, to come down and share some of his vast knowledge. The factors include water pressure requirements, durability, ease of installation, and cost considerations. By the time this video is done, you’ll have all the knowledge needed to make the right choice for your irrigation project.

Good Job again Adam! I'm watching over some of Drip Depots videos for inspiration on how I'm going to record mine, your videos are very professional and I strive to achieve a fraction of that for my videos at first.

Another problem with driptape is we may not get the exact spacing between holes or might get more holes than required. Can we stop the unnecessary dripholes with goof-plugs and remove them when required or is that once a goofplug is plugged in we cannot remove it and reuse it when we change the crop next season??

So if you use heavy wall dripline you don't need a pressure reducer on the head assembly?

Our irrigation comes from a lake. We get all the seeds we didn't plant from there. Is there a system we can use to block those things?

Very useful video Thnks. Still deciding. Whats the maximum length a DripLine can run?? Field is 240 mtrs long and 120 mtrs wide with mainline running in the middle all along the 240 mtrs length. Can I get away with just one subline. If yes then my dripline will be 120 mtrs long on each side or else I have to run two sublines and my dripline will only be 60 mtrs on each side.
