Any tips for drip irrigation? (Zone 6b Ohio)

I'll be planting, for spring at least: chives, peppers, scallions, and pumpkin.

I know pumpkins need an inch of water a week, and I don't think drip irrigation would be a good choice.

Is it smart to take a water bottle, stick it in the ground between plants and regularly fill it with water for everything else?

Thanks in advance.
