Drip Irrigation Design question

18 years ago

I need to water 15 trees that are 8 feet in height. All the trees are in a row. The faucet is at the back wall of my house. The distance between the faucet and tree line is 140 feet.

My questions are

What type of pipe I should run from Faucet to the tree line? PVC sch 80 or a hose or 1/2" Poly for the best design.?

Also what is the pipe that feeds in to tree? How do I connect the main pipe (is it PVC?) to the feeder pipe (1/2"?

Will a 2 GPM emitter sufficient for the trees?

Thanks

Seth
