4000 foot roll of 15 Mil T-Tape irrigation is a heavier, thicker Drip Tape. 15 mil is perfect for your longer crops like blueberries or where your soil is rocky. This is also the Drip Tape that we use in our Garden Kits because it can be rolled up and reused for several years. (** We do not recommend trying to reuse lengths of drip tape longer than 150 feet. This will only be frustrating trying to retrieve it at the end of the season.**)
If taken care of, in short runs, the drip tape may last in a garden for 3-5 years. Or for fruits or vines, you may wish to put it down and leave it for several years. It will last longer and have fewer problems if you cover it with an inch or two of mulch or soil.
** This is 5/8" Standard Size Drip Tape in a 4,000 foot roll.
FAQ: How much drip tape can I run at one time on a garden hose? Flow?
The Flow of your drip tape is the 3rd set of numbers in the Model #. This number is stated in GPM per every 100' of tape that you run.
EXAMPLE: EA5081245-7500 This tape outputs .45 gpm for every 100 feet that you run OR 4.5 gpm for every 1,000' of tape that you run.
TRY IT : 1. I have 12 gpm of water coming out of your garden hose at the field/plot. Therefore, I can run 2,666 feet of drip tape at one time. (MATH: 12 divided by .45= 26.666 x 100 feet = 2,666 feet)
2. I have 14 gpm of water " " " ... Therefore, I can run 3,111 feet of drip tape at one time.
Take your Flow (.22, .34, .45, .67, 1.34 and divide it into your GPM. Multiply that # x 100 feet.
How do you figure your GPM ? Take your garden hose close to your garden plot or field. Run it for approx 2 minutes. Then time yourself filling up a 5 gallon bucket. How long did it take? 30 seconds would mean you roughly have 10 gpm.
