The workhorse for raised beds and vegetable rows: 1/2-inch pressure-compensating emitter tubing with drippers pre-spaced every 18 inches, so you lay it out and get even flow on slopes. Caveats: the fixed 18-inch spacing won't suit every layout, you buy fittings and stakes separately, and it's overkill for a few scattered pots.
Pros
- Emitters are pre-spaced inside the line - lay it out, no punching drippers
- Pressure-compensating design keeps flow even on slopes and long runs
- UV-resistant tubing tucks under mulch and lasts multiple seasons
Cons
- Fixed 18 in emitter spacing won't line up with every plant layout
- Needs 1/2 in compression fittings, an adapter and stakes bought separately
- Overkill and hard to route for just a few scattered containers
