Irrigation System Problem?

I was wondering if anyone could help me figure out what I'm doing wrong! I built my own irrigation system and I was very excited about it. After attaching all parts and let the water drip it seems that the water only go through certain area and doesn't circle in the whole pipes. Here is an image I made myself to give you an idea how I built it: http://oi47.tinypic.com/ams20m.jpg

any advices from an experienced person on this type of project would be much appreciated. Thank you!

    How much water pressure do you have at the supply? Insufficient pressure is the most likely cause of poor performance. I recommend cutting the system in half and watering from only one half at a time. If that doesn't work you may have to further reduce the number of outlets and increase the number of segments until you achieve the proper pressure.

    Good luck and enjoy!
