Micro Spray benefits: See the spray pattern, easy to maintain, pre-assembled stakes, easy to install. Just snap a hole into 1/2" Poly, insert Flow Controller, thread in mister spray pattern of choice. Use on all types of soil - and water just about any plant or tree you can think of. Very low water use of 10gph with great coverage of root zone.
Dripper benefits: Better for clay soil types, very slow watering, hidden in most landscapes, no wind deflection.
(Little more effort to install, not pre-assembled, need to install several to cover the root zone.)
