So im setting up an irrigation system for my bagged peppers, the usual garden hose to 1/2” tubing main line with 1/4” tubing coming off for every plant. My question is ive used the pictured spikes in the raised bed behind these and they work pretty well, but do any of yall know if there is a 1/4” attachment of some sort to do deep water style watering vs just spraying the top of the bag? Yes i know the top watering will soak thru but im trying to see if there is something i can setup under the mulch that i will eventually put on these bags. Ive looked some and dont see anything but i just wanted to pick the hives brain incase one of yall have something like the setup im trying to make

I use 1gph drip emitters attached to soaker tubing to evenly distribute the water. You can also use 1/4” drip tubing under the mulch (the brown tubing with pressure compensation). The sprayers waste too much water imo
I’d just bury two of these in each pot a few inches below the surface:

IME the brown drip tubing is a pain to work with… you need additional spike couplers, tees or plugs, and stakes to keep it in place. The regulated emitters are way more convenient.
