The Medium Drip Tape Row Crop Kit is designed for serious gardeners managing up to 1/8 acre of row crops like corn, beans, or potatoes. This kit includes 2,000 feet of 15-mil Drip Tape, enough to water twenty 100-foot rows with commercial-grade precision. Drip tape operates at low pressure (10 PSI) to deliver uniform water along extremely long runs, far outperforming standard soaker hoses. Most gardeners prefer to keep their hose available for other tasks, so we highly recommend adding a Brass Y-Splitter to your order so you can run your irrigation system and your garden hose simultaneously.
Important Flow Capacity Note: This kit delivers approximately 400 Gallons Per Hour (GPH) of water. Because 1/2" mainline tubing has a maximum capacity of roughly 240 GPH, this kit must be divided into two watering zones. We have included a high-flow Hose Y-Splitter to help you easily manage these two zones manually.
The included 15-mil tape is thicker than standard agricultural tape, making it durable enough for multiple seasons of use. This system is perfect for "Market Garden" style setups where efficiency and yield are critical.
Step 1: The Header (Zoning)
Attach the included High Flow Hose Y to your faucet. This creates your two necessary zones. On each outlet of the Y, attach a timer (optional, not included) or simply connect your Filter and then the 10 PSI Pressure Regulator assembly to one side at a time if moving components manually.
Step 2: Lay the Mainline
Run the 1/2" Mainline Tubing along the top of your rows. Because of the flow limits, you will run one section of mainline for Zone 1 and a separate section for Zone 2. Use the End Caps to close each line.
Step 3: Connect the Tape
Punch a hole in the mainline for each row. Insert the Drip Tape Row Start (LSB) barb. Attach the Drip Tape using the locking nut (Tape Loc technology). Ensure you do not exceed 1,200 feet of tape per zone.
Step 4: Cap the Ends
Run the tape to the end of the row, cut it, and use the Drip Tape End Plug to seal it. Secure with stakes.

Why do I need two zones?
The 2,000 feet of tape in this kit requires about 400 Gallons Per Hour (GPH) of water. However, the 1/2" mainline tubing can only handle about 240 GPH. Splitting the system into two zones prevents flow restriction and ensures uniform watering.
What is the minimum flow required?
The pressure regulator requires at least 0.5 GPM (30 GPH) to function correctly. You should run at least 150 feet of tape at once to ensure the regulator works properly and doesn't leak.
Can I automate the zones?
Yes! If you purchase the With Timer version of this kit, it includes a Galcon Alternator Valve. This device automatically switches water flow from Zone 1 to Zone 2 each time the timer cycles, automating the entire process.
