Why drip irrigation
Widely spaced bushes on a multi-year planting — one lateral per row waters the root zone directly and keeps the alleys dry for picking.
What actually changes the answer
- Wide rows (3-4.5 m) mean low pipe-per-acre — one of the cheapest crops to put under drip.
- A multi-year planting means the lateral is not being lifted each season. Heavier wall is worth it here.
- Keeping the alleys dry helps at picking and reduces disease pressure through the wet months.
