The ratcheting types. The oscillating type. Overhead ones that mount on t-posts.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Sure they\u2019ll work fine when new and just out of the packaging. But after a month or two of heavy use in the garden they get less and less reliable.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Oh, looks like the sprinkler jammed up again. One half of the garden is soaked while the other is bone dry.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">No problem. Remove the sprinkler, clean it a bit, and set it back up. Two days later\u2014jammed again! And the problem persists and gets worse and worse. Sprinklers that rely on mechanical motions\u2014especially if you are on well water\u2014just don\u2019t hold up over time.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1200\" height=\"600\" src=\"https:\/\/fromscratchfarmstead.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/homestead-vegetable-garden-1.jpg\" alt=\"homestead vegetable garden\" class=\"wp-image-1829\" srcset=\"https:\/\/fromscratchfarmstead.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/homestead-vegetable-garden-1.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/fromscratchfarmstead.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/homestead-vegetable-garden-1-600x300.jpg 600w, https:\/\/fromscratchfarmstead.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/homestead-vegetable-garden-1-300x150.jpg 300w, https:\/\/fromscratchfarmstead.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/homestead-vegetable-garden-1-1024x512.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/fromscratchfarmstead.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/homestead-vegetable-garden-1-768x384.jpg 768w, https:\/\/fromscratchfarmstead.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/homestead-vegetable-garden-1-1170x585.jpg 1170w, https:\/\/fromscratchfarmstead.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/homestead-vegetable-garden-1-585x293.jpg 585w, https:\/\/fromscratchfarmstead.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/homestead-vegetable-garden-1-250x125.jpg 250w, https:\/\/fromscratchfarmstead.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/homestead-vegetable-garden-1-550x275.jpg 550w, https:\/\/fromscratchfarmstead.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/homestead-vegetable-garden-1-800x400.jpg 800w, https:\/\/fromscratchfarmstead.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/homestead-vegetable-garden-1-360x180.jpg 360w, https:\/\/fromscratchfarmstead.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/homestead-vegetable-garden-1-1000x500.jpg 1000w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1200px) 100vw, 1200px\" \/><\/figure>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Eventually, we just give up and go back to watering by hand.

So I went to the <a href=\"https:\/\/aff.dripdepot.com\/aff\/idevaffiliate.php?id=418&amp;url=487\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Drip Depot<\/a> website.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">They call themselves the \u201cDIY Irrigation Superstore.\u201d And that\u2019s exactly what I found.

But they are and you\u2019ll receive prompt and helpful support.<\/p>\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Free Shipping<\/h4>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Drip Depot offers free shipping on orders over $49. That can equate to huge savings. And while a basic drip irrigation system isn\u2019t going to break the bank, most orders will have no problem meeting that minimum threshold.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Drip Depot Review &#8211; CONS<\/h3>\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">No Phone Support Option<\/h4>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Maybe I\u2019m old school, but my preference is still to talk to someone by phone. Drip Depot relies on an <a href=\"https:\/\/aff.dripdepot.com\/aff\/idevaffiliate.php?id=418&amp;url=489\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">email messaging<\/a> system for their customer support. You\u2019ll get the answers you\u2019re looking for in written form and not over the phone. Honestly, sometimes this can be more helpful since you have something to reference back to with easy links available to find what you\u2019re after.<\/p>\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Website Learning Curve<\/h4>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I find the Drip Depot website a bit cumbersome. It\u2019s all there. You can find whatever information or parts you need. There\u2019s just a lot of it. And sometimes you have to dig through multiple links or pages to find what you\u2019re after.

What I did was reference their <a href=\"https:\/\/aff.dripdepot.com\/aff\/idevaffiliate.php?id=418&amp;url=485\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">drip irrigation kits<\/a>. While no kit exactly matched my needs, it allowed me to use the kit system as a template to know what parts I needed when building my own system.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">That is also a big part of why I\u2019m creating this post\u2014to create that one-stop-shop guide for a basic drip irrigation system.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Why We Love Drip Irrigation on our Small Scale Homestead<\/h2>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Truth be told, gardening is not our forte. But we\u2019re committed to setting up our gardens year-after-year and growing as much food as we can to feed our family.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">We previously assumed that drip tape was reserved for the elite. Farmers, market gardeners, greenhouse growers, and the like.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Surely, a drip irrigation system would be overkill for us ragtag, small-scale homestead gardeners? We were wrong!<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Drip irrigation offers SO many benefits and you can create a system that meets your needs for ANY size.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Let\u2019s look at some of those benefits.<\/p>\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Benefits of Drip Irrigation<\/h3>\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Less Evaporation<\/h4>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">When sunlight mixes with tiny droplets of water flying through the air, evaporation happens. Any overhead watering system is just not that efficient. Drip irrigation minimizes evaporation as water is applied directly at soil level where your plants are located.<\/p>\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Less Waste<\/h4>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Most sprinklers cover\u2026 well, everything. Weeds, walking paths between garden rows, the side of your garden shed. Drip irrigation is direct watering resulting in very little waste. Water what needs watering and don\u2019t water what doesn\u2019t.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1200\" height=\"800\" src=\"https:\/\/fromscratchfarmstead.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/three-sisters-garden-with-irrigation.jpg\" alt=\"three sisters garden with irrigation\" class=\"wp-image-3370\" srcset=\"https:\/\/fromscratchfarmstead.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/three-sisters-garden-with-irrigation.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/fromscratchfarmstead.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/three-sisters-garden-with-irrigation-600x400.jpg 600w, https:\/\/fromscratchfarmstead.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/three-sisters-garden-with-irrigation-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/fromscratchfarmstead.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/three-sisters-garden-with-irrigation-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/fromscratchfarmstead.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/three-sisters-garden-with-irrigation-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/fromscratchfarmstead.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/three-sisters-garden-with-irrigation-1170x780.jpg 1170w, https:\/\/fromscratchfarmstead.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/three-sisters-garden-with-irrigation-585x390.jpg 585w, https:\/\/fromscratchfarmstead.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/three-sisters-garden-with-irrigation-263x175.jpg 263w, https:\/\/fromscratchfarmstead.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/three-sisters-garden-with-irrigation-250x167.jpg 250w, https:\/\/fromscratchfarmstead.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/three-sisters-garden-with-irrigation-550x367.jpg 550w, https:\/\/fromscratchfarmstead.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/three-sisters-garden-with-irrigation-800x533.jpg 800w, https:\/\/fromscratchfarmstead.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/three-sisters-garden-with-irrigation-270x180.jpg 270w, https:\/\/fromscratchfarmstead.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/three-sisters-garden-with-irrigation-450x300.jpg 450w, https:\/\/fromscratchfarmstead.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/three-sisters-garden-with-irrigation-750x500.jpg 750w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1200px) 100vw, 1200px\" \/><\/figure>\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Less Relocation<\/h4>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Any mechanical sprinkler we\u2019ve used needs to be relocated multiple times each watering session to hit the whole garden. A drip tape system can easily reach every row and area of your garden and it only requires a one-time setup. No moving required!<\/p>\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">More Peace of Mind<\/h4>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">After your sprinklers start failing, you become constantly paranoid that they\u2019ll jam up again and flood an area of your garden. With drip tape, very little can go wrong. In our 3 years of use. It has run flawlessly without any time spent worrying or troubleshooting.<\/p>\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">More Time Back<\/h4>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A hands-off drip irrigation system means you get time back in your world to focus on more important things. With a young family, running a business, and plenty of other things to tend to around our homestead, this set-it-and-forget-it setup has become invaluable to us!<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Basic Drip Irrigation Parts for a Home Garden<\/h2>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Drip irrigation systems are not overly complex.

This creates even pressure and flow rates within your system. Most drip tapes are designed to run at 10 PSI. However, you may need to adjust your pressure regulator based on the drip tape you choose. Keep in mind the basic pressure regulator I have linked is designed to work under an average flow rate of water in GPM (gallons per minute). If you have a larger well or water supply, you may need to upgrade your pressure regulator.

The emitters are where water drips out of at a constant, slow trickle when the system is on. Drip tape is most commonly installed along the soil surface, but some have specially designed emitters that allow the drip tape be buried just below the surface. This can actually extend the life of the drip tape since sun exposure is what most rapidly deteriorates the tape material.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1200\" height=\"800\" src=\"https:\/\/fromscratchfarmstead.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/drip-irrigation-roll-with-822-emitters.jpg\" alt=\"drip irrigation roll with 8&quot; emitters from drip depot\" class=\"wp-image-3392\" srcset=\"https:\/\/fromscratchfarmstead.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/drip-irrigation-roll-with-822-emitters.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/fromscratchfarmstead.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/drip-irrigation-roll-with-822-emitters-600x400.jpg 600w, https:\/\/fromscratchfarmstead.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/drip-irrigation-roll-with-822-emitters-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/fromscratchfarmstead.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/drip-irrigation-roll-with-822-emitters-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/fromscratchfarmstead.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/drip-irrigation-roll-with-822-emitters-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/fromscratchfarmstead.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/drip-irrigation-roll-with-822-emitters-1170x780.jpg 1170w, https:\/\/fromscratchfarmstead.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/drip-irrigation-roll-with-822-emitters-585x390.jpg 585w, https:\/\/fromscratchfarmstead.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/drip-irrigation-roll-with-822-emitters-263x175.jpg 263w, https:\/\/fromscratchfarmstead.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/drip-irrigation-roll-with-822-emitters-250x167.jpg 250w, https:\/\/fromscratchfarmstead.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/drip-irrigation-roll-with-822-emitters-550x367.jpg 550w, https:\/\/fromscratchfarmstead.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/drip-irrigation-roll-with-822-emitters-800x533.jpg 800w, https:\/\/fromscratchfarmstead.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/drip-irrigation-roll-with-822-emitters-270x180.jpg 270w, https:\/\/fromscratchfarmstead.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/drip-irrigation-roll-with-822-emitters-450x300.jpg 450w, https:\/\/fromscratchfarmstead.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/drip-irrigation-roll-with-822-emitters-750x500.jpg 750w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1200px) 100vw, 1200px\" \/><\/figure>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If there\u2019s one part of the drip irrigation process that can send your head spinning, selecting your drip tape is it. Not only are there different brands available, but each offer different emitter spacing, emitter flow rates, and tape thicknesses. Drip Depot has produced this <a href=\"https:\/\/aff.dripdepot.com\/aff\/idevaffiliate.php?id=418&amp;url=476\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">drip tape buying guide<\/a> to help you select the proper drip tape for your application.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If you\u2019re not sure and just looking for an all around good fit for a variety of things, I selected this <a href=\"https:\/\/aff.dripdepot.com\/aff\/idevaffiliate.php?id=418&amp;url=475\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Drip Tape<\/a>. It has 8\u201d emitter spacing, an average emitter flow rate, and a thicker wall so your tape will last as long as possible.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">To determine the length of drip tape you need, simply measure the length of your garden rows and multiply that length by the quantity of rows. For instance, if you have 10 rows that are 10\u2019 in length, then a 100\u2019 roll of drip tape is perfect. Even though the rolls come in sizes of 100\u2019, 1,000\u2019, or 10,000\u2019, consider getting a bit more tape than what is immediately needed. Drip tape does not last forever and you may expand your gardening over time, so having some extra on hand can be a good thing.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1200\" height=\"800\" src=\"https:\/\/fromscratchfarmstead.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/drip-tape-takeoff-fitting-connected-to-tubing.jpg\" alt=\"drip tape takeoff fitting connected to tubing\" class=\"wp-image-3401\" srcset=\"https:\/\/fromscratchfarmstead.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/drip-tape-takeoff-fitting-connected-to-tubing.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/fromscratchfarmstead.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/drip-tape-takeoff-fitting-connected-to-tubing-600x400.jpg 600w, https:\/\/fromscratchfarmstead.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/drip-tape-takeoff-fitting-connected-to-tubing-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/fromscratchfarmstead.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/drip-tape-takeoff-fitting-connected-to-tubing-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/fromscratchfarmstead.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/drip-tape-takeoff-fitting-connected-to-tubing-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/fromscratchfarmstead.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/drip-tape-takeoff-fitting-connected-to-tubing-1170x780.jpg 1170w, https:\/\/fromscratchfarmstead.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/drip-tape-takeoff-fitting-connected-to-tubing-585x390.jpg 585w, https:\/\/fromscratchfarmstead.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/drip-tape-takeoff-fitting-connected-to-tubing-263x175.jpg 263w, https:\/\/fromscratchfarmstead.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/drip-tape-takeoff-fitting-connected-to-tubing-250x167.jpg 250w, https:\/\/fromscratchfarmstead.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/drip-tape-takeoff-fitting-connected-to-tubing-550x367.jpg 550w, https:\/\/fromscratchfarmstead.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/drip-tape-takeoff-fitting-connected-to-tubing-800x533.jpg 800w, https:\/\/fromscratchfarmstead.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/drip-tape-takeoff-fitting-connected-to-tubing-270x180.jpg 270w, https:\/\/fromscratchfarmstead.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/drip-tape-takeoff-fitting-connected-to-tubing-450x300.jpg 450w, https:\/\/fromscratchfarmstead.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/drip-tape-takeoff-fitting-connected-to-tubing-750x500.jpg 750w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1200px) 100vw, 1200px\" \/><\/figure>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Drip tape is installed with the emitters facing up and can be cut to length with standard household scissors or a knife. Note that depending on the width of your garden rows and what you have planted, you might also consider running two or more runs of drip tape per row. But for most applications, one line of drip tape per row is sufficient.<\/p>\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Drip Tape Fittings<\/h4>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Just like your tubing, your drip tape runs will have a fitting at each end. At the front end, a <a href=\"https:\/\/aff.dripdepot.com\/aff\/idevaffiliate.php?id=418&amp;url=477\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Takeoff Fitting<\/a> connects your drip tape into your tubing. It simply plugs into the hole you\u2019ve punched in your tubing at each garden row. These takeoff fitting come either <a href=\"https:\/\/aff.dripdepot.com\/aff\/idevaffiliate.php?id=418&amp;url=477\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">with<\/a> or <a href=\"https:\/\/aff.dripdepot.com\/aff\/idevaffiliate.php?id=418&amp;url=478\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">without<\/a> a shut off valve. If you can afford the extra cost, I recommend the ones with the <a href=\"https:\/\/aff.dripdepot.com\/aff\/idevaffiliate.php?id=418&amp;url=477\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">shutoff valve<\/a>. This gives you extra control to water or not water certain rows of your garden, which could be helpful throughout the season.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery has-nested-images columns-default

The beauty is that once you have it all setup, it\u2019s easy to replicate year after year in your garden space.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Drip Irrigation Frequently Asked Questions<\/h2>\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Who is drip irrigation for?<\/h3>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">We firmly believe that drip irrigation is for everyone! Even if you are just starting out as a gardener, a simple drip irrigation system can really simplify your watering world. And the components can adapt and be reconfigured as your garden layout changes over time. Make the investment upfront and avoid the hassle and inefficiency of other watering options.<\/p>\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How much does a drip irrigation system cost?<\/h3>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Our system with 1,000\u2019 of drip tape, 100\u2019 of tubing, and all the other basic components needed cost about $200 a few years ago. Prices have risen a bit since then, but not much. We already had an automatic watering timer, garden hoses, and a hose manifold. Of course, your cost will depend on your gardening setup. It\u2019s possible to get a very basic system for a small garden for $100 or less.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<div class=\"wp-block-image is-resized\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"900\" height=\"1200\" src=\"https:\/\/fromscratchfarmstead.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/watering-potatoes-with-drip-irrigation.jpg\" alt=\"watering potatoes with drip irrigation\" class=\"wp-image-3349\" srcset=\"https:\/\/fromscratchfarmstead.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/watering-potatoes-with-drip-irrigation.jpg 900w, https:\/\/fromscratchfarmstead.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/watering-potatoes-with-drip-irrigation-600x800.jpg 600w, https:\/\/fromscratchfarmstead.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/watering-potatoes-with-drip-irrigation-225x300.jpg 225w, https:\/\/fromscratchfarmstead.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/watering-potatoes-with-drip-irrigation-768x1024.jpg 768w, https:\/\/fromscratchfarmstead.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/watering-potatoes-with-drip-irrigation-585x780.jpg 585w, https:\/\/fromscratchfarmstead.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/watering-potatoes-with-drip-irrigation-250x333.jpg 250w, https:\/\/fromscratchfarmstead.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/watering-potatoes-with-drip-irrigation-550x733.jpg 550w, https:\/\/fromscratchfarmstead.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/watering-potatoes-with-drip-irrigation-800x1067.jpg 800w, https:\/\/fromscratchfarmstead.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/watering-potatoes-with-drip-irrigation-135x180.jpg 135w, https:\/\/fromscratchfarmstead.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/watering-potatoes-with-drip-irrigation-375x500.jpg 375w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 900px) 100vw, 900px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Are there drip irrigation kits?<\/h3>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Yes! Drip Depot offers a wide array of <a href=\"https:\/\/aff.dripdepot.com\/aff\/idevaffiliate.php?id=418&amp;url=485\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Drip Irrigation Kits<\/a> to fit many different applications. These include kits for: container gardening, greenhouses, hanging baskets, landscaping, raised beds, row crops, small farms, trees, vegetable gardens, vineyards, window boxes, and more. The pre-bundled kits offer great value and highlight how versatile drip irrigation systems can be!<\/p>\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How long will a drip irrigation system last?<\/h3>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">While most components on a drip irrigation system will last for years or decades, the drip tape itself can be the one exception. Drip tape, due to its constant sun exposure, tends to become brittle and crack over time. The longevity of drip tape is also dependent on the wall thickness you purchase. Thicker walls will last longer; thinner walls will have a shorter lifespan. Some replace their drip tape every year to avoid the cracking. We are on year 3 of using ours. There are some cracks, but the tape still works fine for our purposes. And locating the cracks and covering over them with heavy duty tape is always an option.<\/p>\n<div class=\"wp-block-image is-resized\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1200\" height=\"800\" src=\"https:\/\/fromscratchfarmstead.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/roll-of-5822-drip-tape.jpg\" alt=\"roll of 5\/8&quot; drip tape from drip depot\" class=\"wp-image-3393\" srcset=\"https:\/\/fromscratchfarmstead.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/roll-of-5822-drip-tape.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/fromscratchfarmstead.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/roll-of-5822-drip-tape-600x400.jpg 600w, https:\/\/fromscratchfarmstead.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/roll-of-5822-drip-tape-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/fromscratchfarmstead.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/roll-of-5822-drip-tape-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/fromscratchfarmstead.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/roll-of-5822-drip-tape-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/fromscratchfarmstead.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/roll-of-5822-drip-tape-1170x780.jpg 1170w, https:\/\/fromscratchfarmstead.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/roll-of-5822-drip-tape-585x390.jpg 585w, https:\/\/fromscratchfarmstead.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/roll-of-5822-drip-tape-263x175.jpg 263w, https:\/\/fromscratchfarmstead.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/roll-of-5822-drip-tape-250x167.jpg 250w, https:\/\/fromscratchfarmstead.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/roll-of-5822-drip-tape-550x367.jpg 550w, https:\/\/fromscratchfarmstead.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/roll-of-5822-drip-tape-800x533.jpg 800w, https:\/\/fromscratchfarmstead.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/roll-of-5822-drip-tape-270x180.jpg 270w, https:\/\/fromscratchfarmstead.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/roll-of-5822-drip-tape-450x300.jpg 450w, https:\/\/fromscratchfarmstead.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/roll-of-5822-drip-tape-750x500.jpg 750w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1200px) 100vw, 1200px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">My garden is already planted!\u2026 Can I still install drip irrigation?<\/h3>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Yes! You can install a drip irrigation system at ANY point throughout the growing season. In fact, we\u2019ve only ever installed them after our gardens are planted. This allows you to plant all your seeds or seedlings without the drip tape in your way. We\u2019d recommend trying to get your system in before plants are too mature, for ease of laying down the tape without too much foliage in the way. But no time is too late for drip irrigation and then you\u2019ll have it for future years!<\/p>\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What if I have multiple garden spaces or raised beds?<\/h3>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">As you can see from some of the kits, like the <a href=\"https:\/\/aff.dripdepot.com\/aff\/idevaffiliate.php?id=418&amp;url=486\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Raised Bed Kits<\/a>, drip irrigation can be very customizable.
