Soaker hose is fragile - develops rips and tears too easily. You’ll be digging it up and replacing parts all the time. As someone earlier suggested I would go with plastic piping and fittings - drill small holes in the pipe and cap the end.
Agreed, soaker hose seems to last a year or two, tops. The flexible drip watering systems are more durable - there's even a perforated version of the 1/2" plastic water distribution line, that puts out more water than the traditional soaker hose (which just seems to "sweat"). A series of little "bubbler" sprinkler heads poked into the regular non-perforated 1/2" line work just as well, and let you concentrate the water where it's needed.
