That is what I do. I use the PVC to get the water to the garden, but attach
soaker hoses and run them on top of my raised rows and plant my goodies next
to the soaker hose. It works very well, waters evenly, and is a lot more
economic than any other method I know.

Putting a lot of holes in your PVC will just lower the water pressure so you
don't get much water to the plants, and then it wont be evenly. I have used
your idea to water trees, but found that if the water pump isn't really
strong, you will get water out of the first 20 holes, and cant even get it
to the end of the pipe. If you have a very strong pump, it will work
alright for trees, but will dig holes in the dirt if you use it for other
plants.

Have fun. Dwayne

How about soaker hoses? If/when they clog, just run hot water through
them.
