Bob, if I understand, every drop of water that gets to them in this system gets pumped from 350 to 100? This doesn't sound like "free." I'd consider mulch and a timer if you really think you might leave the water on. Another thought would be a second well if you're thinking it would run your well dry.
We have buried 5/8" soaker hose at the base of all our plants and water 2hrs every other day in these 100* days in Missouri and it has worked great for the last 6 yrs. Mike

vinividivici do you have a metal roof?
Johnny, what diameter PVC pipe are you going to be running?
Will you have a manifold that separates each row pipe?
I'm now changing my mind on all this and will not put a large cistern near the rows. Will use a large rain barrel and small pump right at the gutter downspout. Then attach a 4-spigot manifold with the four pipes running underground to the beginning of each row as you will do.
It would be great to see pictures of your system when you put it in.
Bob
