Posted by Ken I believe the most critical factor may be economics. Installation of a sub-surface drip system is not cheap. However, many growers are finding the costs will be offset by a larger and better crop. If you desire any more specific information I suggest you contact John Nye at TRICKL-EEZ Company. He has installed a few sub-surface systems, many of them being corner systems for center pivot fields. He can be reached at 1-800-874-2553.

Watering potatoes is not unheard of. Generally speaking, the drip line is buried about fifteen to eighteen inches deep. This depth should prevent the line from being damaged when the soil is prepared for new plantings. When operating the water moves about six to eight inches upwards. The roots will grow down quickly seeking this water source.
