Yes, ordinary hose. I prefer the heavier duty, but the $2-$3 dollar ones work as well. I don't bury it, you can use wire in U shapes to hold it in place. Then you can simply roll it up at the end of the year. No, we often rotate or refresh the soil. We had 3 tons of horti-mix brought in and have used compost for 9 years in our garden. "anywhere you dig, you will find worms in each shovel" which is a good thing. We also have raised beds for lettuce, onions. We soak those from the top and use organic mixes to prevent pest/fungus. We use homemade drips. $5 hose and a pocket knife / Ice punch.
Lay the hose out and poke the hold where the plants are (faceing down). This will save water and only water where needed, not coating / asking for fungus or burn on the leaves/vegitation.
I like this idea. The easiest way that uses the least amount of specialized parts is probably the best. Do you use ordinary garden hose? Do you replant your garden every year in the same pattern so you reuse the hose placement?
