Hi All - I'm thinking about getting a drip irrigation system for my garden and was curious if anyone here has tried one. Anything that has worked well, or not so much? Brand recommendations? Rain Bird and Hunter have come up in my searches so far. Other considerations a beginner wouldn't think about? I'm in the US, so I also need it to be able to be shipped here.

If you're irrigating on hills, look into pressure compensated emitters.

Also if you're practicing BDS, lots of drip stuff is made or owned in Israel

Good to know about the BDS trap, damn. Do you know offhand of any that aren't? I'll have to do more reading there.

Edit: for anyone else trying to untangle the BDS bit. It looks like Drip Works is an Israeli firm. Rain Bird, Hunter, and Drip Depot are US companies, but they distribute across Israel; Blumat is German/Austrian also distributes in Israel. Has been tricky to figure out because drip irrigation was created by an Israeli so tons of mentions about Israel just because of that. If I find anything more helpful I'll try to update
