Agreed. but stake them down. Hydraulics will make the pipes rise to the surface above the mulch or rocks if they are not.

 

definatly stake em, we aim for an emitter so as not to crunch the pipe.

 

You can bend Netafim to a 9" circle, but if you do , use two or three circles since the
emitters are on 12" centers.

 

Carefull , they do sell .9x 18"

 

Double WOW
That's the fastest answers I have ever recieved.
BIG THANKS
I was coming back to add that I was running a drip line with built in emmitters, so you wouldn't think I was burying those snap in emmitters like a netafim system has..

I'm glad you understood, and thanks for the advice. I'm sure I'll have a few more questions before this is through.

I consider this question answered. Unless someone has a reason TO bury the pipe.......

Thanks again

Oh dont worry this thread will go on for days. End up being about travel in the Pacific northwest.

 

8.5 years later and we've finished with the Pacific northwest and back to drip line questions again :laugh:

Speaking of travel, I took my family to the Snoqualmie falls yesterday:

If you walk a 1/2 Mile trail, you go down to the power station that is driven by the falls:

I love the pacific north west, I'm never leaving.

 

Sweet, wish you left coast guys would post more scenic pics.

Did someone say PNW?

Not even for TEXAS! I've got a trip in my lifetime planned there. Hopefully I'll meet ML before he goes into a nursing home and I've still got to get to Vancouver Island to meet Mad Estonian.

Leave the 6" boxes down there, they'll make you wear them here.

 

Keep posting them pics!

I will do this when renovating with established plantings, but for new plantings I will bury depending on what is being watered and how efficient I want the watering to be.

 

I have a lot of gopher problems when the irrigation lines are buried deeper then the mulch.

 

if you leave them above ground you are looking for a law suit when someone trips over them.bury them like you said.

 

lol @ left coast..

Thanks rush!

 

Subsoil emitters are subject to root intrusion.

Are we done with this thread? Drip::::last resort, can you say "stomata"?.

What gives you the impression that the home is not already the case?

Buried or under mulch, same problem.

I can say .... when are you going to let go of your silly stomata reference.

 

Stapled the drip lines down in our backyard and our dog's toe ripped backwards after being caught on a staple as she was racing around. Is burying them the only other option?

 

Mulch. Lots and lots of mulch. So much mulch that its depth is a component of the landscaping.

Okay, so nobody wants to buy that much mulch, so a lot of guys bury it, and act all surprised when it gets root-choked a few years later.
