I am planning on setting up a drip tape system this year. How close do the runs need to be in order to get good distribution of moisture? I'm thinking three feet apart.
Also I set up a 1500 gal collection tank for water last year. I had a real problem with alge. I'm trying to figure out how to heat the water without the alge problem. I am thinking about covering with black plastic to limit the light. All comments apreciated

Hey there............You could go to the catalog of Dripworks in California. There are many words of wisdom within that catalog. There are many suggestions that may be helpfull to you.

My drip system gravety feed is set up from a header on one side of the patch with the arms or "T's" being eighteen inches. This is in 15% plus humus. There are pictures in my 2003 and 2004 diary which may be helpfull.
