Distance depends on size of pipe, grass type and output of emitters.

I've never seen them places quite that close before... that'd get monotonous on a larger turf area.
Funny you mention that. From what I've read, the spreading of the water underground is supposed to keep the soil from compacting, eliminating the need for aeration. I'm not sure how well that works in real life though.
One down side is my liquid fertilize
