I drip irrigated my entire yard (only about a quarter of an acre, so, quite small). I just used the drip irrigation stuff at home depot. Its fairly inexpensive and once you start working with it you figure out pretty quickly how it all the parts work together. I just looked at the companies website to figure out what I needed to get started.

Doesn't limescale eventually kill drip irrigation system?

Our water is as soft as a baby's bottom - so no limescale here. I'm not aware of how a drip irrigation system is affected in areas with hard water.
