Best Brand of Drip Irrigation System?

pdxwindjammer · December 16, 2014

After several failed soaker hoses of various cost and quality, I am ready to invest in a drip system that will last for several years. Well, actually, I am ready for Santa to invest in it for me!

I have several community garden plots plus I garden in my front and backyard. I need a system that allows some flexibility, both literally and figuratively. I want something that will make my watering easier. I already have some splitters to attach a couple of regular hoses. I will also invest in a timer for the times when I am out of town and the forecast looks dry.

I plant all kinds of veggies so doesn't have to be tomato specific.

I know that Raindrip is a popular one. And also Toro. Any others?

In moving forward to put together my "naughty or nice" list, what brand do you recommend and what are some accessories/must have components that I should include on this list?
