I want to give it this dripline a 1-star review because it was a total waste of money but I gave it 2 stars as a concession to my desire to be fair-minded.\r\n\r\nThe product was not defective. Just ineffective. Perhaps there’s an application in which you need tiny little wet spots 9 inches apart. That wasn’t what I needed but it is what this dripline delivered.\r\n\r\nIf tiny wet spots are your thing, this is the product for you. But if you’re looking for a product that will wet the area around each emitter sufficiently to wet the entire area between emitters you’re going to be sorely disappointed. I tried this dripline in two different applications — both were failures. The first was a long, narrow bed of tall, tightly bunched day lilies where even a tall sprinkler head is blocked. Even running this line 3x longer than any of my other plants needed watering wasn’t sufficient to wet the day lily bed. In the second application, I spiraled a length of dripline around the base of a tree to water the groundcovers and shady perennials under the canopy. Again, even keeping the cycle on 3x longer than what is needed on the rest of my Dig micro-watering system wasn’t enough to wet the area sufficiently.
