A buried soaker hose will break down in a couple seasons, but so what,it's cheap.
The biggest issue is weeds and grass wanting to grow along it.
as you keep describing your garden, I keep making changes to my suggestion.
If you just need to spot water, then forget the soaker hose -- just put a drip line in. Get the tubing, put a barbed hose adapter in one end. Run the hose from the timer to the buried drip line. Put drip tubes to each plant (I'd use the larger tubes)
