I put a 4-way splitter at the house end of the run. Then:
1. 10' "local"
2. 75' Waaaaaaay in the back
3. 75' for the back and one side
4. 50' to a 2-way splitter on the side of the house. One port is for a soaker hose and the other is a 50' for that side and the front.
For #2, I have to cross a brick patio. So, I have a short hose with a quick-connect on the 'business' end that reaches to the other side of the patio. It connects to a quick-connect on the 75' hose that is buried. I used the non-shut-off quick connect so that the hose drains automatically when I disconnect. This has been in place for about 5 years now.
#4 is snaked around the patio and brick work to the bed on the side.
Someday, (when I'm working again), I'll actually bury the above ground under the brick work. But, not this year!
