I added more 3/16 laterals yesterday and a little this morning. Then I ran out of 3/16 tubing. I'll need to pick up more tomorrow morning, maybe 4 more rolls. These were all in low areas on mechanical vacuum. Have not yet put the drops on, just strung the laterals but I'm guessing by the time I run the 1 more lateral I'm planning I should have about 100 new taps. I will know this week. The drops are all made and ready to go. I had thought 4 rools were enough, but I ran out. Poor guessing I think.
These will all be on 26-27" vacuum.
Before you tell me I could get more with a new mainline and sap ladders on 5/16, I know. I just choose to get what I can with the lowest investment. It worked well the last 2 seasons for me.

A roll of tubing disappears pretty fast when you start stringing out laterals. The same thing happens with mainline!
