The other way to water lots of plants is with inline drippers. This photo is my tomato bed. The tubing has drippers set in it at each place I want to water and makes a big loop (both ends connect to the big line). Small tubes can only carry about 10 gallons per minute so you want to limit the number of drippers on a small line and connect both ends so the pressure is relatively equal along the whole length, instead of strong at one end and weak at the other.

Sometimes on a big container I will make a loop of 0.25 inch soaker to fit inside and connect that to the supply line instead of a dripper. The water gets distributed around the pot better that way.
