There’s a tape you can buy at any big box store with the emitters. It’s similar to a hose but better without those pressure issues and you can cover it with straw or whatever. Better drip than mist or spray which can evaporate.Good to know on the soaker hoses. I'll consider.
As for the strawberries, I have a terrible problem with blights. It's killed off hundreds of dollars worth of strawberries. I've replaced my strawberries 3 years in a row. I need a better system where I can ensure air movement around the plant, limited moisture, and yet still keep everything from dying of thirst in our high heat, high humidity location. I've done a lot of research on this idea. It will involve using a hole saw to create planting locations in a 55 gallon food grade drum. However, the REAL experiment is what I'm doing on the inside to make it self watering.
