Most home centers will have drip irrigation pamplets or will help you design the system.
You will need a backflo preventor,filter,water pressure regulator and a timer that fits on the hosebib or an electric timer that plugs in.For the electric timer you will need to install a valve to your water system and this is best done by a professional.
The hook-up goes as follows.Teflon tape all male threads on your parts and make sure the washers are in all female ends and properly seated.
attach Backflow preventor,filter.timer,water pressure regulator,then drip start adaptor,then dripline.This all has to be at least 2'higher than your highest emmittor.
Run tyhe line out where you want it useing elbows,and tee's where needed to make the line conform to your areas.
pin it down with pins(I use jute staking pins)
Then punch in emmitors where you want them on the uphill side of the plant.Try Dial-a-flow adjustable emmitors and you can adj flow of water how you need it per type and size of plant.That's the basics,there is alot more knowlage involved.Good luck
