Hi All,

I set up a drip irrigation system for a small orchard of about 40 trees.
The drip heads on the final 1/4" line are small, cheap plastic heads
rated for 1 gallon per hour. Performance of these heads so far is
disappointing but I should have suspected that with the prices of these
heads -- 10 heads for two bucks..

Water flow and pressure are good at all tree locations. Can you recommend
a quality head that will really deliver 1 or 2 gallons per hour?

Ray,

You might want to try Bluebird. I know they are very good as pop-up
heads, but I want to say they make drip also. I am into landscaping and
dont mess with irrigation much at all, but my supplier pushes Bluebird
hard and really stands by them.
Good Luck!
