I'm envious. You have the chance to do things right and 'from the ground
up,' so to speak. I had something weird happen with my soaker irrigation
last year -- never happened before. The above-ground rooting for the sweet
corn nailed the soaker hose to the ground and grew right through the hose in
about a dozen places. I had to cut the roots with pruning shears because
they were about 1/8 inch thick and went deep into the ground. I was using
the recycled rubber soaker hoses. Tell me more about the drip irrigation
you are putting in.
