I wanted to use watering system but not sure if i need to use a dripper vs spitters. Pls let me know your comments.
They are designed for different purposes. They also come in very different configurations with respect to flow rate and pattern. It is best to use the type that suits your containers and plants. It is simple to combine them for multi use purposes and the ability to change with containers and plant requirements. However it is important to keep track of flow rates, number of outlets and pressure within the system.
In short it is not just a question of one or the other.
Take a little time and read up on the various uses and patterns available before deciding!
A couple of key points.
1. it is very easy to over water with irrigation systems.
2. They are not trouble free or consistently reliable, must be checked regularly to ensure best results.
4. Most effective or less troublesome if used for inground watering rather than containers which can dry out very quickly in the situation where the system or dripper/spitter fails.
5. Setting up zones that can be scheduled separately is very useful. They can be used for separate purposes.
Note: I use a system for my nursery but primarily for certain stages of growth and sizes of containers, not as a replacement for hand watering in all cases. Have used a system for over ten years, I find it primarily useful for starter plants, cuttings, and smaller containers with free drainage.
