Steve, I've noticed one little thing with the drip tape and I wonder if it's normal.

When I turn off the water, the tape humps-up, twists itself into curves,etc. I have to go to the far end and pull it straight - and that pulls it loose from the fitting etc. It improves a little when I turn on the water. Obviously it's expanding and contracting as the ambient temperture changes. Should I bury it?

I planted the whole patch in turnip greens and I'm using sprinklers to get the seed germinated. The drip tape makes a nice 8-10 inch wide band of wet soil - wider than I expected in this sand. It's gonna work-out real well.

Thanks again,

Jack
