Well, that weeping soaker hose works very well, but they are less durable than what I remember, now I hand-water (~300sf). My BIL turns the old-school green upside down and turns down the pressure. Raised beds dry out faster but extend the season over native, and mine I grow all winter (against house).

I water all of my raised beds with soaker hose and find it works great with tomatoes. I weave the hose through the tomato cages so water gets up close to the roots. I like to put a few inches of some type of mulch on top of the hose (I mostly use straw) which protects the hose from the elements and also cuts down watering and weeds.
