it might work better to drill out a 10' piece of PVC. bury under the mulch. the
secret is a filter on the hose and ramping the pressure down so there isnt a series
of water jets.

I use this PVC pipe technique to water my raised beds. Also to
water small trees
I am encouraging to grow along a fence line.
When I want to plug up a hole, I just hand twist a drywall screw
into it.
Very inexpensive and a 5 gal per minute flow rate will easily drive
forty
feet of PVC with holes every 6 inches.

I have also laid PVC around the perimeter of my house to water
shrubs
and flower beds. Saves a LOT of time, dirt cheap, and practically
foolproof.
I use about 1/16" holes and drill them where the shrubs or flowers
are
located. They can be plugged up as above and other holes drilled as
the landscaping changes..... Seems to last forever and no chance of
catastrophic leaks as when a soaker hose blows out...
