How to set up a basic single-zone irrigation system

Home Depot has an entire section dedicated to irrigation. They have a neat little DIYer setup called orbit. It uses 1/2 pvc tubing and barb fittings. My nearest Home Depot sells pop up heads that will shoot water 15'.

Orbit's Voyager II Professional Gear Drive is the best in class of all gear drive pop-up sprinkler heads. It is the #1 consumer choice for medium to large area gear drive sprinkler heads. It's versatility allows coverage from a 25 ft. up to a 52 ft. radius in a part- to full-circle spray pattern. The gear drive rotor ensures even and complete water coverage as well as a quiet spray. A filter protects the nozzle from clogging and is easily accessible for cleaning. It is compatible with all major brands of gear drive rotors including Rainbird, Hunter, and Toro. www.homedepot.com

Much of this is more than you want to know. You will be mostly interested in how to do supply lines and so on.

Quick and dirty stuff can be as simple as a Y branch on your tap, a hose connector timer, and half inch drip line (actually .700 or .710" outside diameter) line. you can excavate for 1/2" line with the claws of a hammer, putting in 1" below the ground. PE pipe is pretty tolerant of freeze thaw cycles even with water in the line.

If you use drippers, use two per shrub so that if one gets clogged it's not the end of the world. There are bunches of micro sprinklers that you can use to water areas of a few feet to 10 feet across.
