Drip Tape Irrigation

[JackE]

I think I've got a handle on it now. Those links clearly explain how it works. I'm gonna order one.

We never did actually use any reflective mulch - got by with with TSWV resistant varieties, regular spraying for thrips - and killed every flowering plant on the property and in adjacent pasture on the upwind side. It seems to be gone now - no sign of it for several years. I think killing the flowers is what solved the problem.

I'll hafta look into that prilled fertilizer. All we've ever used is crystalized. The only way we could keep it dry here would be to bring it into air conditioning - my wife might balk at thirty bags of fertilized stacked in the living room. Of course, things are getting a lot drier around here than they've ever been - parts of this summer were more like Arizona than the Gulf Coast.

I sure do appreciate your taking time to share all that knowledge and experience with us. I still don't know your name. Is it Moon? That will work - like the old comic strip, Moon Mullens. :-)
