Hi Marti. I'm Cindy. I use a soaker hose in my garden. It's really just a long hose with tiny holes down the entire length. Using this method I water the soil, not the leaves. This style of watering is called "deep root watering". It has made a huge difference in my garden. If you already have the copper tubing, you could do the same thing. Good luck Marti.

This video seems to have some good info! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gYC1bSKrBHI
Run a grid to feed the plants from a water supplyor maybe use a special leaky hose for the watering.
I don’t know if a perforated copper pipe exists but if not, you can drill a bunch of holes. Shop the plumbing aisle, see what valves and connections you’d need.
