We are using drip irrigation for this first time this summer. The drip
tubing we use is low flow - 8 gallons per hour per 100 feet. I would think
your well would be fine for that. We have been very pleased with the ease
of installation and the efficiency of the watering. All compression
fittings, easier to do with two people, but doable alone.

If you need any more information, just ask - we'll be glad to share.
