Hello everyone,
I will soon receive 240 Thuja Smaragd plants and plan to plant them. The plants will be 20–30 cm (8–12 inches) tall.
Later, they are supposed to form a hedge about 100 meters (330 feet) long.
How can I irrigate them?
I already use a cistern with a pump and garden hose, and I would connect the irrigation system there.
What is a good system to use?
Are drip irrigation tubes recommended for this?
Does anyone have experience with irrigation and can offer advice?
Thank you very much for your answers.

Why is that important?

Knallkörper9 Apr 2018 22:14Last year, we planted 130 European beech trees, bare-rooted. The planting distance is about 33 cm (13 inches), and I used a soaker hose from Gardena. Strictly speaking, I had to use two pieces because they are only sold in lengths of 25 or 30 meters (82 or 98 feet). It works quite well in principle. I believe it is actually beneficial if the area between the plants is also watered. According to the nursery, this stimulates root growth.
However, during the first summer, I either didn’t need to water at all because it rained, or the weather was so hot and windy that the new lawn had to be watered once or twice a day. In those cases, I simply used the garden hose to water everything.
