I'd go the soaker route. You'll have less waste, and evaporation. Also better, as wet leaves can make plants more susceptable to disease. One of my garden spots is about 130' square, rows are hilled, and spaced to allow it to be worked with my 8N. I water next to the hills, in the furrow the hiller made. Fortunately, the ground has a gentle slope down the hilled rows. Pump out of the tank with a roller pump on one end of the row, and it flows down to the other end. I don't have a water source at that spot yet, have to haul it about 1 mile. Works pretty good for me. We've got squash, green beans, cukes, okra, and starting a blackberry patch this year. Prepping another 130' square patch adjacent to the current one. We'll fall crop more beans, turnips, and cabbage. Po folks got po ways. Mark
