Hi all, gonna drop some cash at drip works. cant decide between 15 mil. drip tape or mini wobblers. The wobblers are cheaper. But I don't want to make mistake. somebody sway me in the right direction. I have hand watered for the past 3 years and I am done. thanks

If you have mildew problems you want to use drip

I find both are needed, the drip tape for watering uniformly. Sprayers or woblers for cooling the plant during growth to keep sunburn down

Check out the mini rotors... I use 30 per plant under canopy ... Really makes it rain and hardly gets the leafs wet... Plus I use over head.. I used to use wobblers.. Didn't fit well into my system.. Now I use shrubber heads by rain bird over canopy.. Like misters but can get full round half round and qtr round... Gives a nice rain effect

Drip tape to water the plant. Mini wobblers/ misters to cool the plant. Check with other cali growers-many rely on misting systems.
