What project are you embroiled in? It’s it going well? What hangups are you running into? And, dare I ask, are you having fun with it?

    My first reaction is like you, put in a rain barrel. Then maybe you could put in one of those perforated hoses, and you can just stick a 1/4 turn valve in the base of the rain barrel and you could just manage the valve when you want to water it?

      I’m on board with the rain barrel concept - and I think if I raised it a couple of feet above the elevation of the garden, it would generate decent pressure sticking a valve at the bottom. Would need to do some math about the pressure needed to feed drip lines. But if I’m not mistaken, rain barrels generally feed from gutters that feed from a roof. I need something wider, which is where the RainSaucer concept came in. Maybe I could DIY something out of a tarp.
