Drip irrigation..

Hi guys.. I just got a roll of 100m drip lateral main pipe of netafim company :clap: but I didn't get the feeder tube so I wasn't able to set it up until it had arrived ( on 23 sep) so I am waiting -wall- I have 100 drippers and I am planning on using them for containes only...to reduce water consumption and regular watering.

Read the instructions on the package. You need to calculate your gallons per hour (GPH). Your total number of drippers cannot exceed your GPH. The longer your system, the more resistence you will get so try to keep the lengths short and maybe zone them to keep the total number of drippers on a line to a minimum.
