He had 4 barrels set up side by side with a hose linking each barrel to the one next to it for self-leveling of water levels.
The last barrel had a spigot to attach a hose to, and the water pressure from those barrels and a 3-4 ft drop in elevation over the entire garden provided enough force to spray the water with a spray nozzle.

I repeat: "I want some rain barrels!"
Get them free at most car washes. 30 or 50 gallon
