It really depends on how many plants are watered at a time. Such a small amount of water is used per plant that for most applications for homeowners we actually instal a reducing valve at the faucet to restrict water flow before the supply gets to any tees.
Cutting the main water line to fit each of the several other lines into it with a T seems radical! I would think this would affect the water pressure at each T. I would hate to see how little water is getting to those plants farther down the line... I'd be more inclined to use a larger main line and try to find some kind of water pressure valve for each off-shoot which I "punched" into the main line. No?

The drippers are $3 or less depending on numbers ordered and the supply pipe is $30 per 100ft roll Bill

The pressure will be about the sdame for 100 trees. If the line goes up a hill the pressure will be less as you rise in elevation

Bill Thanks for setting up your system on our plants... Really works well...

Good conservation information. Useful for the the garden home and garden nursery. Good job.

Looks like a great system.
May I ask the vendor who created and provided the system, it seems less likely to clog than others, is that your experience?
