Drip Irrigation

We are going to try drip irrigation with our produce this year to help control moisture during the dry spells. I have submitted a design to a drip irrigation company and am awaiting the results/damage. The drip irrigation that we will be trying is called drip tape. It can be placed between 1 - 12" under ground or can be run on top of the ground. Water is emitted through emitter holes at specific spacings that allow the water to seep into the soil. This lets us water with very little evaporation. Yet another experiment for the 2009 planting season. I can't tell if that feeling in my stomach is excitement or nervousness. Maybe both...
