Ran across a Japanese system that's kind of a combo of drip and micro sprinklers, Sumi Soak.
It's a flat drip line with holes that shoot the water droplets upwards at a high angle and doesn't go very wide. Supposed to be good even coverage in the shape of a rectangle unlike the micro sprinklers that make circles and the drip that in my case with heavy soil, make tiny circles at each emitter(hole). Supposed to be good for germination and short plants. Narrow enough that I could do two lines in my 22' wide tunnel or a single for morning sun side. Doesn't work well for tall plants like maters so drip would still do those.
Podcast I watched of a market gardener that makes his living from it, says the sumi soaker is awesome for germinating carrots. Light on details otherwise.
Searched Youtube and found a good presentation from Tilmor, the funky tractor people. The original funky tractor was the Allis Chalmers model G, row crop tractor. Tilmor and a couple other companies created their own version of it.
Anyway, here's Tilmor's explainer video of the Sumi Soaker - Sumisansui Mark II Irrigation System Overview. Since it's flat, you can roll it up on a hand crank spool. Portable. Can just hook it to a hose or tie it into an existing drip system.
Extremely high fire danger today with low humidity & high winds. A friend just emailed that there is currently a fire with road & trail closures in the mountains. I am too far north of that location to see any smoke.
We got home from church yesterday & our flag was down in the yard. I had it screwed to a piece of board & that was screwed to the tree with substantial deck screws. From the flag/pole whipping back & forth, the board broke. There is a piece on the tree still, but the larger piece with the flag & pole was all the way across the driveway & out into the yard. Our very large Eco can garbage can was gone when I looked for it this morning - it had been blown past the garage & around the corner of the house. We have tree debris all over the yard.
This wind is nuts - I will be glad when it calms down.
