Thanks for the idea. I'm thinking of running refrigerator icemaker
tubing out the the pond area, then I could use your manifold/soaker
hose idea from there. I figure volume isn't much of a problem using
soaker hose.

Get a soaker hose and a timer that hooks up to you outdoor faucet.
They have them at Home Depot. I did my entire back yard gardens with
soaker hosed and a four outlet water manifold.

If you're in the southwest as it appears, you might want to select
your plants carefully so you don't have astronomical water bills.

My wife picked several plants for our garden/pond area (in central
Georgia) that have to be watered pretty much every day. Not only is it
a daily pain, but when we go out of town for a few days we have to
arrange for a "garden sitter".

Good luck, keep us posted.
