Watering

I just went out and ran lines for my garden. I have about twelve rows, and I put a bubbler on the end of each row. I hoed furrows, ran water, and then rehoed the high spots so it runs all along the 15' or so row. Fiddiddled here and there until I got the waterflow pretty good for a timed watering.Back a bit. I went to the store yesterday, and pressure reducers were $10 per. I decided to go with bubblers, as I have a ton of them and PVC stuff rather than the soaker hoses, and running all the adapters it takes to change from PVC to black pipe. I know that once they're set up, they're so slick.But, after running the lines and trying the flooding the ditches and lots of hoeing, I'm wondering if I should just bite the bullet and go get all the adapters to run black flex pipe down each row, and be sure.Right now, with the bubblers, and two large oscillating sprinklers, it gets watered pretty well. Now I need to go plant stuff, and just see how it goes, and make adjustments next year.Do you prefer furrow watering, or black flex pipe?Steve

One thing for sure. It's already crashing into the tile roof.
