Am doing installation of drip tape but I have an issue at hand. After measuring the length of ridges it was 36 meters and I don't know if I should run the drip on the 36 meters or I should place the layflat at the center of the farm and puncture both sides to cover 18meters each

36 meter is not that long for you to divide it, I even have 80-90 meter long. Maybe I don't understand your question, add picture so I can understand More. OluchiDelly , FarmTech pls help a brother here.

it will work if that is how you like it. If I were you I will make it single straight ridges.

How far. How much was the drip and accessories?

You have done justice to his question brodaly. A standard plot of land in places like Ogun/Lagos state is 36m x 18m (120ft by 60ft). So 36m is just the same as the the length of a plot of land which is not that long according to your submission.

Thank you @farmakinloye6 for this wonderful insight, infact it came at the right time, I planned to install my own drip, ridges made and a borehole and storage system already in place, please I need an insight of what to buy for 2 plots to start with.

Hello sir, please, bush rats put some tiny holes on some of my drip tapes. I think they were biting it in search of water.

Please how do i gum or fix the holes. The Holes are not much though.

Thanks

Check the video before, I used one joiner there. You can get it and cut where it's bitten then join together again

Thank you so much for this.

Most of the holes are around the emitters. Any way to patch them without cutting off the emitters?

Patch the holes using black tape.

For spray tube, I normally use shoe gum and a piece of spray tibe to patch even large holes. Sorry for late reply. I abandoned NL for a while
