Default Sprinkler pipe questions

We're getting ready to plant here. I have PVC lines into my garden. I want
to put long pipes of the black ABS, half inch or so. I know I need to put
pressure reducers at the beginning of the lines. What about stubbing off
the other end? I've seen it folded over and held with baling wire. Is that
okay, or is there a plug that goes on the end? And what about soaker hose.
I know there are various capacity of emitters, is that the same for soaker
hoses?

Last year, we just ran the water through bubblers and into rows, but the
watering was uneven, with some things dry, and some things flooded.

Helps and tips appreciated for this newbie.

We're going to put up a trellis, with some shade cloth and some spraying
hoses, as the sun gets brutal here in summer.
