...but drip line irrigation needs work to get even coverage. Gravity fed, to a sloped site, I'm too dry at the top (where stumps are located) and too wet at the base (where pumpkins based and less root mass to take up excess). Pressure compensating lines would't have worked with low pressure from butt. Next year growing uphill could work! But in meantime, need to come up with solutions to implement now - split zones, alternating lines at diff distances - or run new lines at top only? Halved timer for now, and will need to top up, top half manually for the moment.
