Beginner Gardening: My new drip system, 1 by texasgarden

Now we are rounding the side of the house. See how the main line is up against the house? Now I could have run that 1/4 tube to a "button" dripper and put it on a little stake (pics of that setup later) and put it right at the root ball of that fountain grass to your right (first plant on this side of the bed!). I instead opted for the sprayer type. This sprayer adjusts so you can do 360, 180, 90 degree pattern, or a "narrow line." That's what I did since this is a narrow bed. This particular attachment is NOT adjustable as far as turning the water pressure up or down. Basically you just punch a hole (with the special tool) in the main 1/2 tube, insert a fitting, and attach the 1/4 tube to the fitting. The other end of the 1/4 tube goes into whatever emitter you selected. For the record, this bed will have lots of stuff in it which is why I want the whole bed sprayed. Had I gone with 3 or 4 foundation shrubs with no intent of filling the bed with plants, 4 of the "button" drippers would have been an arguably better option. It's up to you!
