I keep finding water sprinklers that will "water a 100 radius area" or

which is great if you have a large yard.. but I have a very small area
to water.

I need a way to water an area about 4 feet by 50 feet .. there are
plenty of tall and bushy plants in the area (this is the flower garden
next to my home)
what would you suggest for a good way to water this kind of area?

Have you tried an irrigation (soaker) hose? A hose with lots of little
hole in it, or there's the bleeder type that just slowly ooze's water
out.

It screws into any garden hose or fitting.

the irrigation soaker is great at one end .. sprays nicely .. and at the
other end.. well it just kind of leaks out.. (in my opinion: worthless)
as for the bleader type .. that sounds like it might work, but i'd have
to just run several of them .. since all they would do is just, well
bleed the water out.. and the area is about 4 feet wide..
i do thank you for the ideas though..

NP. Sounds like your water pressure/volume sucks.
