How Do You Water??

I am experimenting with my outside water situation. I have well water. I have zero pressure. Every year I spend ALL summer dragging hoses. I don't mind irrigating the grass but the garden, the food we eat the entire year, is a tough one to do. I am considering furrows. Last night I spent a couple of hours and made a couple of furrows to see if I like it better than just sticking a sprinkler head on the end of a hose and pulling it all day. I am at a loss and need some new ideas. If I go with the furrows I will be making at least 60 of them because our garden is HUGE! Like I said, we preserve, bottle, dry, sell and store everything and count heavily on it. So if you have an opinion please let me have it. I should just point out right now I am up at 5 turning on all the water, feeding animals etc. and then every 40 minutes the ENTIRE day and sometimes late into the night I am dragging hoses. At 5 am you would be surprised to see how many people are outside. I am affraid that over the last 5 years my neighbors have seen all my nighties (sorry) and if I haven't put my glasses on yet I am sure they have seen me run into the side of the house or a huge tree while dragging hoses. Hahaha!!!
