These drippers offer the highest performance to price ratio for the best value. Stakes are suitable for most applications, but for baskets which cannot be reached by hand, a Plastic Weighted Assembly is generally preferred. The lead weights are also very prone to plugging and require frequent attention or replacing.
Plastic weights allow for multi-tier hanging baskets that are watered uniformly on the same zone.
Lower flow also means large zones can be irrigated at one time. Secure attachment means no dripper to replace. The grower chose to use the multi-tiered basket system here. The baskets are watered uniformly on the same zone. The flow rate of a Netafim dripper is not related to the length of the spaghetti tube, as is the case with lead weight drippers.
