Hey FigFanatics!!!

After spending almost 2 hours staring at my trees and watering I decided to set them up for drip irrigation. I have all of the parts I need just need to buy the drippers. Need some help on that.
I live in Santa Fe NM
Zone 7a/b
Most of my trees are in 5 gal. buckets, grow bags (5gal and 15 gal), and 2 gal nursery containers.
What drippers do I buy?
How long do I set them at?
And what other advice would you share.

I also live in a semi-arid climate. I only use drip for greenhouse operations. Plants in the ground are surrounded by deep basins, which the irrigation floods once or twice per week.

Thread 'Automated irrigation by a Vista CA fruit zealot'

This thread attempts to answer questions about our irrigation system posed by @TorontoJoe . Several posts will follow.

Additional questions from anyone are welcome.

Our 1/4 acre property is in northwest Vista CA, just inside USDA zone 10b on the side of a ridge. Properties directly downhill from here are in zone 10a.

It does not freeze here. In addition, temperatures are rarely above the high 80°Fs, owing to the cool Pacific Ocean eight miles to the west. Unlike Atlantic coast waters that flow up from the Caribbean, our Pacific coast waters flow down from the Gulf of Alaska...
