Default Getting a water supply into the garden ....

This is such a basic question, I'm almost sorry to ask - but I can't
find a decent site to advise me ...

I want to get a water supply into my garden ..... serving a 'water
feature' (wildlife friendly is my intention) as well as making it easier
to water my veggie plot.

At the moment I run a hose the 150' from my outdoor tap to the veg plot
(with some T's off which I connect hoses to water the tubs and
containers on the way down).

We're thinking of trying to establish a wildlife plot at the very bottom
of the garden (220' from the tap!) which will have some kind of 'boggy
bit'.

Would it be OK just to take a 'spur' off the pipe supplying the outside
tap and run a 15mm 'pvc'* pipe all the way to where the supply is
required, fitting a tap at the veg garden (150') and somewhere in the
wildlife garden (220') to support the 'pond', or whateve? Presure is OK
via a hosepipe, so I guess it should be OK (if not better?) when
properly 'plumbed'......

*by pvc I mean the 'plastic' pipe one can use push-fit connecters with
.....)

I'd look at burying the pipe maybe 9" - 12" deep in a place I'd not
normally dig over ...


Is it that simple?
