and some extra fittings would work. there are several ways you can accomplish a diy for watering.

You need a cycle timer to schedule the feeds, if you have the drip lines in the link then just plug your pump into one of thos and happy days.

I would use the soaker line versus a DIY ring. DIY rings tend to not deliver equal flow ring to ring and tend to clog really quickly. You could always just put small adjustable sprinkler heads on the ends as well. http://www.homedepot.com/Outdoors-G...Id=10053&langId=-1&storeId=10051#.UIbH6oZXQVM

Yes use 1/4 drip line dont use the vinyl use the harder polyethylene make a ring by connecting a length to a 1/4 inch T fitting drill 8 holes in it with a small bit and very lite
pressure so the bit is doing the cutting it works pretty good connect each ring with 1/4 drip tube conect to timer or conect pump to a switch and water manually.
You will have to try a couple rings with diferent bits to get the flow rate you want.
