This is the approach I took (bulk hose and package of fittings) 
combined with a little "southern ingenuity" using some 1/2 pvc and 
fittings to make a nice T split from water source and up over the 
edge of each 12 inch tall raised bed. (My neighbor calls it "a work 
of art").

One word of advice, the fittings that you use to attach the irrigation 
hose together are easy to fit together but impossible to remove...so 
take a moment to make sure you have it laid out the way you want 
before you fit the hoses together.
