drip irrigation

Does anyone use the Raindrip irrigation system? I was given 3 different kits free and set mine up w/.5 gph drippers. Looks like it works well. Should have done this before summer, lol. So far, it doesn't seem like any problems. I think I'll be able to reduce my planting(counting on higher yields.) Can anyone tell me what to expect? I have a friend who uses pvc w/ manual valves and drip tape. When I have to buy, I may go that route.

I use DIG drip irrigation, very similar to Raindrip. I love it. I use it everywhere, flower gardens, shrubs, trees and veges. The first system I installed is in the flower gardens and is at least 10 yrs old, still works great. Best place to buy drip irrigation is the Drip Store, they have many, many items that you can't find in stores. That's the only place I buy mine anymore. I love the 1/4" soaker hose.

Thanks for that. I checked them out, I'll be using them when I expand.
