Watering my SFG

I wasn't sure where this was best placed but I have already read through many of the threads and didn't see anyone who had tried just using PVC pipes.

Essentially I am thinking of using a garden hose connected to a piece of PVC that splits at the edge of the box into 2 capped pieces that run the length of the box. The long pieces will have holes drilled into them at intervals (still being worked out).

Essentially, it's a soaker hose concept but without having to worry about winding the hose around box and keeping it stable.

Has anyone tried this? It sounds like it would work on paper but not sure how in real life.

We have built the pipe assembly but need to drill the holes (any input on how large or how spaced?) and then turn the hose on. Since it's pouring today it will be tomorrow before we get around to testing it (and building a fence and trellis!).
