Nbfarms. You're question went to pg 2. I thought I might share what we do here. Your comment about the 8" width got me thinking you should try what we do to learn more about water movement in your soil. We put a valve in the line, and inject blue marker dye with a small electric pump. Open valve and run system, in your case 8 hours and then 16 hours. Look at where the blue dye is after each. This is an example I did at the high school. L to R, 1,2,3 hour run times. We only run drip 2 hours per cycle, but up to 6 hours per day. Beach sand here, but it can teach you a lot.
