That's something to think about although all the drip irrigation I have seen is above ground and I was leaning towards having everything under the soil to lessen the amount that would just evaporate. So basically I would drill a hole in the side of the box and have pipes running in kind of a U shape to water the whole bed. This also means the animals that will, despite my best efforts, somehow get in can't wreck the system too badly.

Edit: It seems like what I'm getting at is essentially a drip irrigation system just without the actual dripping since it's underground. "sub-surface drip"
