At what depth in the soil is it best to bury Leaky Pipe, and at what distance should the pipes be spaced?
Pipes can work positioned from the surface downwards. The depth of installation is up to you. With surface use, Leaky Pipes are usually covered with a mulch of some type, particularly in landscaping. Sometimes pipes are buried 3-6 inches under the soil if they are to be “out-of-sight”. (At this depth the pipes are out of the way but still accessible enough to be re-lifted and replaced.) When the pipe is put 6-14 inches down it is difficult to reclaim the Pipe and is mainly used in turf situations and some sand-based arenas. The distance between the Leaky Pipe laterals or “runs” depends on the use it is being put to. On fine turf, the distance should be 12-15 inches. In general landscaping 24-36inches. .For row crops, one lateral per row unless the rows are closer than 12″. Common sense has to prevail in most situations, the Leaky Pipe can only be responsible for applying water along its length, the material that is packed around the pipe is responsible for moving the water away from th
