You can make a ring out of the 1/4" poly and attach several emitters. Put the plant in the middle then with a T connector connect back to the mail line. That should help.

I had tomatoes in 7 gal fabric pots last summer with 1 dripper/bag and I didn't have any problem. It may be that they're staying too moist.

Another option is blumats. They're automatic water emitters that feel if the soil is drying out, and when it does they emit water until it is moistened. They work great, but if you've got lots of plants it could get pricey.
