RE: Irrigation

I have another irrigation question:  what's the best approach for hills?
I tried the leaky hose system, but the water all comes out at the bottom
of the hill.  So I've been using sprinklers, but I know that is
wasteful.

What is everyone's favorite watering system for their flower beds...

We live in zone 5 -- low rainfall  (altho we water plenty)  -  hot
summers --  often wind...

thinking about snaking a hose thru the beds -- covering hose w/mulch --
and watering all nite once every 5 days or so.  Do I want to use the
"leaky hose" system -- or the emitter system.  One bed is approx 4 x 36
 -- another bed is similar in size..

night watering should not be a problem here  (no mildew, etc)...

thanks for input....
