Tara my prior garden had a sort of hose with small sprayers in it that wound through the beds. They were on zoned timers. I think it's like a snip and spray system. Spray stayed low and worked great. I'm trying to figure out how I can do it at the new house. Because all the water drains out when off I don't remember that I had to blow them out for winter. If it sprang a leak you just spliced and repaired it.
