The 6 Best Watering Drippers (2023 reviews)

We know from years of feedback from readers, customers and amazon sellers, what most people want in a dripper. The rain bird watering dripper is exactly that - it's a simple dripper that hits all the right notes. This is the best little thing for putting the proper amount of water on your plants. They deliver a pretty steady and regulated trickle of water. The sharp point on one end makes it much easier to fit into the feeder line. It is great for individual plants, and avoid over watering.

These are made from a proprietary blend. It is easy to slip on the 1/4" tubing, stays tight. It will leave most of the ground dry and not waste any water but directs it right where it is needed.

Best For vegetable garden: La Farah Watering Dripper

Buy on Amazon

The la farah watering dripper's superior materials makes sure that it ages well with use. These are essentially the same drip emitters from home centers that typically sell for over $1 a piece. The drip emitter takes a herculian effort to get on a normal ( new, more expandable) 1/4" tube. The spike holds them in place and the nozzle adjusts from a multi directional jet to a dribble.

These micro sprinklers allow a lot of adjustability from off to a dribble to an 18 inch diameter pattern. It works well with the larger plants that require more water. This is a design for a very small system. These are self contained and have stake incorporated. This is essentially the same drip emitters from home centers that typically sell for over $1 a piece.

Best For tomato: Axe Sickle Spray head

Buy on Amazon

The axe sickle spray head gives the top-tier dripper a run for their money by offering flagship specs at a much more affordable price. Use this versatile staked 360 degree full circle pattern micro-bubbler (adjustable for flow, distance, and height) to apply water-saving drip irrigation in more places around your landscaping. The bottom line is that these connect easily to standard tubing, they insert easily into the ground, they are easy to adjust and they maintain a constant flow rate in spite of changing water pressure.

Water flow can be adjustable by rotating the water outlet hole cap. These are hard to insert into the 1/4" tubing, impossible bare handed for a female, but heating the tube up in the sun helps immensely. They are also a little brittle compared to RainBird branded items. This would be great for single small plants.

Why We Like This:

Better than drippers, gives each plant enough amount of water
Good brand reputation
