Watering the tomatos and other stuff in my little yard is inefficient.
I've tried the soaker hoses which are fairly efficient, but they leak
all over - I mean, that's what they're supposed to do.

My new plan is to get a cheap hose, lay it around where the crops are,
anchor it so that it doesn't move around, and drill holes where it
will leak directly onto the ground where I want it to leak.

I intend to start with small holes, working up to larger holes as it
gets near the end, figuring that pressure will be dropping as it goes
along. The end, of course, will be plugged.

It seems logical. Has anyone done this kind of thing? A big yard
probably isn't worth doing, but in my little yard I'm expecting that
it will work.

There are plastic tubes out there that required that you cut the tube
and install a tee for each particular plant.
There is no leakage between plants.
