BluSoak Drip Tape- Mega, 100' Longevity - this tape can last over 20 years Better productivity - because the soil will be more evenly watered, the plants will be able to grow thicker and more dispersed root systems. Less evaporation - because this can be buried, there is little or no evaporation. Cooler water - because black irrigation hose heats up water more, it can wilt and even kill plants in hot locations. Because our tape is white and buried, the water stays much cooler
