I intend to bring in some mulch (bark, basically) to reduce evaporation. I have hoses and timers but I do not know what type of irrigation lines to use, or what type of dribble-nozzles to use. Hoping for a solution that is cheap and easy to implement.

Please offer your thoughts and suggestions.
How close together are they?

Anything in between them like grass or other plants?

If yes to the above just run soaker hose the whole way.

Standard stuff you find at any home improvement store.

I would also recommend replacing your sprinkler controller (if you have one) with a Rachio.
