Drip Line
Down Pipe
To avoid damaging drip tape with the press pan, adjust top of down
pipe about 1” to 2” below the plastic mulch. Cut off drip lines approxi-
mately one foot longer than the rows for connecting to the water sup-
ply. Keep dirt out of the drip tape by tying a knot at the end. Drip line
can be tied to back of machine when transporting.
