We’ve been using the Sumi Soaker in our market garden, and it has completely replaced both wobblers and traditional drip lines for us. The difference has been significant.

What stands out most is how evenly it distributes water. We’re getting much more consistent soil moisture across our beds, which has noticeably improved germination rates and overall crop success. Seeds are coming up more uniformly, and we’re seeing stronger early growth.

It’s also helped us cut back on water use. There’s far less runoff and overspray compared to wobblers, and we’re not dealing with the inconsistency or clogging issues we used to see with drip systems. It feels like we’re putting water exactly where it’s needed—and only where it’s needed.

Beyond the performance, it’s simplified our setup. Fewer adjustments, less monitoring, and more confidence that irrigation is doing what it should.

Overall, the Sumi Soaker has been a major upgrade for our operation. It’s improved efficiency, saved water, and directly contributed to better crop outcomes.

We already have wobbler sprinklers on our blocks, but the newly seeded or transplanted beds need more water than the more established beds. We transplant and seed into 5 bed blocks in a 20 bed watering zone, and use the Sumi Soakers for the first three weeks, and then remove and let the wobblers work from then on. The Sumi Soakers then move to the newer beds. Things are going well, so far.

this irrigation system has solved all of my issues with overhead irrigation on my small farm. gone are the days of uneven watering, watering weeds, easy to set up. easy to move. perfect germ. don't forget to buy the manifold for each line you'll need. sure you can make a manifold and save $6 but just get the one the sell here it even has a valve

Sumi-soaker is the easiest way to flawlessly water my garden. Unroll, connect, water. I can control the width of the pattern simply by closing the water valve until I get the width I need.

Covers 5 to 6 of my 4 ft c 50 ft beds in one setting. I plan on buying more.

The trays were just a described. Heavy duty, sleek, and built to last. Fast shipping as usual. MG always does a great job.

Easy to use. Came with everything.needed to get started

Have been looking for stainless steel landscape staples for years. Many other suppliers misrepresent galvanized staples as stainless, so be careful. The same rule applies to various other products.

We're dependent on insect netting for growing alliums do to ALM here in the East. This netting holds up well under wind and snow!

With risers I can now use 1 sumi to water the full width of a 30’ high tunnel! A bit more work to set up than just rolling out the sumi on the ground, but definitely has it’s place!

I purchased two sumi mark II systems for my 50ft and 25ft tunnels. Normally, when I direct seed early spring crops in the tunnels, I hand-water using a DIY overhead hose system and a hand wand. I do this two to three times a day until I get some good germination going and eventually switch to drip. Each time I hand-water it takes about 25 minutes. Over an hour each day spent standing and watering. These systems are really easy to set up. The kits come with everything needed (except plumbers tape, hint hint..). Took about 5 minutes to get all the parts assembled and the tape unrolled and secured and to connect the water. So, after setup I turned it on and stood back to observe. Immediately I knew I had a winner. The spray pattern does a great job and covers wall to wall inside of the tunnels. All I have to do now is turn the water on and that's it, all of time wasted standing and hand watering is now being utilized for more important tasks. The time savings alone is worth the cost of the system. Really glad I found the sumi system!

This soaker easy to lay out and move around the beds as needed.

Trays seem solid and fit paperpot trays

This system is far superior to any other overhead irrigation I’ve used on the farm.

Indestructible, don't even bother bringing them inside they are that tough... I will order more as I scale up, these are absolutely perfect, there is no substitute, don't even mess around with other products when this is available.
