My Dripper's Not Flowing Evenly.

[Flintstone]

Installed a micro-dripper system to avoid a repeat of coming home after a few days working away to find that everyone forgot about the garden and plants.

Followed the instructions to the letter (I know, I know. How hard can it be?) but am still getting different flow rates from each dripper. If I increase the pressure to a point where the 'reluctant' ones weep then the end ones spray across the greenhouse. If I reduce the pressure not all the drippers........ um, drip. No kinks in the pipes. Do I put it down to it being cheap equipment or are they all like this?

Mine is like this. Lots of patience is required to set it up to drip equally from each nozzle. I've got nothing constructive to add except you're not alone!

I was afraid of that. Still, it'd be hard to overwater tomatoes, melons and strawberries in grow-bags that have holes in the bottom so I could just leave it on 'slow' and let absorption see to the dry patches.
