questions about drippers and drip system

Hi all,

I am going to build two 4'X10' raised beds for planting vegetables. I have decided to use a drip system for irrigation. Here are some of my questions:

1. What are the pros and cons of placing drippers directly on the 1/2" tubing? What are the pros and cons of using a 1/4" tubing between a dripper and the 1/2" tubing? I will do 2 rows or 3 rows in a bed depending on the season. ie. Crop rotation. Flexibility is a big plus.

2. Can you re-use the same hole that was previouly plugged by a goof plug?

3. Does a dripper get clogged very easily? If so, can raising it off the ground reduce the problem?

Thanks.

Scott
