And what about soaker hose.
I know there are various capacity of emitters, is that the same for soaker
hoses?

i'm a soaker hose guy. comes in a couple of different diameters, which
i figure relates to output rate. otherwise i haven't seen it rated.
as seemed obvious to me, i just calibrate it by sticking it in a
bucket, hooking it up to the appropriate pressure, and calculating the
gallons per minute per foot.

I use soaker hose too. I've found the best is from Lee Valley. Theirs is
rated for gallons per minute, but I just let it go for like 15 minutes,
which is plenty.
