    Hi. I have just planted out 30 beech trees. I want to drip irrigate each one from a 200M run of 1/4" Hydrodare hose. For this I am looking for Adjustable Flow Emitters. Any ideas as to where I might source these? Thanks.

    What are you running it off? (as in the water setup/infastructure)

    You will need alot of water pressure and flow to propperly run a 200 meter long drip irrigation system to propperly water newly planted trees.

    You will need to make sure that the root balls and the soil in and around the rootball get suffiecnt water,so that the roots are encouraged to spread out.

    Im sure you could get the flow emmiters in the likes of a farmers co op,any large garden centre/nursery

    Just throwing this place out as another source of irrigation for anyone interested. I haven't used the place in quite a while but its got a good rep as specialist in its field namely golf and commercial horticulture.
