I did something similar. I had six 4 by 16 beds. I ran a 2" PVC sched 40
line down to the garden where I placed a shutoff and a hose bib on a
tee. From there I ran 1 in. down to the center of the beds where I teed
off to each bed where I put a hose bib. I could use soaker hoses or drip
lines as needed on each bed.
