Drip irrigation for garden


Recommended Posts

What type of drip irrigation is best for a 4x8’ raised garden bed?

I already have one raised bed that has the 1/2” brown tubing as a zone on my main sprinkler system. I added another 4x8’ bed and need a new drip system but I’ve noticed that 1/2” brown tubing kinks pretty easily.
 
Is there something better to use? Should I buy one of the kits? Any other tips?

Kinking? Can you not cut it and put 90 degree elbows/4 way/whatever on it?

Yes that's possible in some places, but I'd like it to be flexible enough to bend around plants without getting a kink.
