Remember when everyone just threw a few pots on a patio and called it a garden?

I tried setting up a proper drip system for my raised beds last spring. The problem was getting the water pressure right across all the zones. I spent maybe 4 hours on a Saturday thinking it would be simple, but it turned into a whole weekend project. I had to go back to the store three times for different pressure regulators and emitters. In total, it took me about 12 hours over two days to stop it from either flooding one bed or barely dripping in another. It's so much easier now, but man, that first setup was a headache. Anyone have a go-to brand for those little pressure-compensating drippers that actually work?
