Hey @llfarms I'm the Tinkershaman there on discord. Just saw this post, I used a similar soaker hose last season in my garden and the sun destroyed it. It may not mess the material up if its covered by mulch and protected from the sun. I helped with a irrigation system install for a local charity and we used drip tape from these guys at dripdepot they make a kit for row crops I think would work great for you if you have trouble with the soaker hose. https://www.dripdepot.com/category/drip-irrigation-kits-row-crops
