What is your experience w/ using drip emitters & getting an even saturation in the bag? MY concern is using only (1) will lead to alot of wasted water that drips out of the center of the bag - leaving outer areas dry...
thanks in advance!

You have to know what your soil characteristics are as to how to space emitters.
A well drained soil will go deeper but not spread out.
You are in a a container so this would more than likely be what you have.
There are several types of emitters.
I like to use the ones that are adjustable in a spike.
They are called adjustable mini bubblers
They send out a spider leg type pattern.
Some people dont like them but I do because I use a 200 mesh filter on my system.
You can get them on line or the big box stores.
