Over last year and this year I have put the drip watering to all that I
don't want to lose. With the adjustable 0-10 gph, I eyeball it to about
half flow and water each group for about an hour once per week.
I use the stuff from Lowes - Mister .... Miser ? landscaper. something
like that. Buying the pressure regulators is a must. I have some
sprayers but mostly adjustable drip.
