I have a garden about that size and it is about 200' from the house but it is slightly downhill so I have a 330 gallon tote which collects rainwater from the house roof. It attaches to a hose which I ran to the garden by just laying it on top of the ground. By the end of the first summer the grass had grown over the hose to the point that we can mow right over it and you can not see it.

The long white pipe from the tote is an overflow so that excess water does not pool at the foundation when we get hard rains.

I have a shorter hose right at the garden which I put away for the winter and the main hose is drained but stays buried.

The water comes out of the hose due to gravity but a small pump could be attached at the tote if I wanted.

I don't like to use my well water for watering the garden.
