CARPATHEN30pcs Drip Irrigation Emitters - 1/4" Drip Irrigation System Push-to-Connect - Adjustable 360 Degree Drip Emitters Vortex on 6" Sturdy Stake - Irrigation Drippers for Garden Watering System

I started a garden of potted plants. (not POT plants!!) Even though my planted area is much smaller, I'm not up and down on my knees picking weeds, and it is really easy to care for! At least I'll be able to see my crops-manageable and fun!I tried about 4 different types: from misters, to wagon wheel spray, even had a little cast iron tractor that would follow the hose!For smaller gardens, these can be turned up and reach pretty far. These tops are the "blue ones" (other manufacturer's have red, green, brass, etc. get Carpathon BLUE. You won't go wrong.My veggies and flower pots look amazing. Plus, I run everything through my sprinkler system so they get regular water and a little environmentally friendly boost, occasionally.As you can tell, I am sold on this product!

These were a very easy install compared to others I've used in the past. As far as longevity, time will tell, as these will be exposed to the California Sun.

I have some minor problems with leaking around a few of the connectors - I assume I didn't use enough force to assemble them. My system is a bit bigger than recommended, and it still works surprisingly well.

We used these drip irrigation heads in our 4 raised bed gardens. They are so easy to install they just literally push onto the end of a 1/4 inch tubing then you put the drip head near your plant and push the stake down into the ground to secure the drip head in place. The heads are then very adjustable using the red cap on the top, you twist it to increase or decrease the rate of flow of the water which lets you really customize your irrigation system. You do have to run a line of tubing from a splitter to each one as they can not be set up inline. It was done easily with 4 way splitters that were able to be set inline with each other. I. Ran 4 four way splitters on one line down the center of my raised bed and then ran 4 lines off of each 4 way splitter one to each plant giving me 16 drip heads which more than covered my whole raised bed. Very happy with these drip heads so far. They have been in use for a month now.

I ordered the Carpathen 30pcs Drip Irrigation Emitters to be used in our Japanese Garden where certain plants required additional irrigation on top of the already in ground irrigation. It arrived via USPS fairly quick but I was busy on other projects so I was not available to install these emitters into the 1/4” irrigation tubes already set up, which had spray emitters, observed too much loss of water due to sometimes windy conditions - so I’m trying these emitters instead.The existing 1/4” industry standard irrigation tube is fairly new so is still flexible and has not hardened from UV exposure, so installing these new emitters was very easy, just cut off the old one and pushed on the new ones, which is A LOT EASIER because it comes with a Push To Connect fitting.Adjusting volume and spray pattern is very easy, just turn the knob until you see the desired spray pattern, I chose closer to drip with a facing down towards the ground. I install them on our three large azalea bushes which I notice tend to dry out fast during the summer months. Then installed them at a couple of shaped bonsai trees that require heavy watering.I’m very satisfied with the quality of construction and the Push To Connect fitting vs the old style where you had to force the drip emitter into the 1/4” tubing. It would have been nice if the quantity in the package was fifty or one hundred but I guess the smaller amount is so customers will go back and order more, which I will eventually do.
