This invention provides a method for irrigating an area by providing a fluid conduit coiled on a spool. The conduit includes a plurality of sprinkler ports disposed spaced apart along a length axis of the conduit. Each sprinkler port has an affixed connection structure operable to removably connect, removably quick-connect, or quick-deploy a riser, and a portion of that connection structure is disposed inside the hydraulic cross-section of the conduit. The method includes uncoiling a length of the conduit to dispose that uncoiled length of conduit as a line across the area to be irrigated. The uncoiled conduit may then be used to irrigate the area as desired. When finished, the length of conduit may be removed from the irrigation area by again coiling it onto a spool.

1. A method for irrigating an area, comprising: providing a fluid conduit coiled on a spool, said conduit comprising a plurality of sprinkler ports disposed spaced apart along a length axis of said conduit, each sprinkler port of said plurality of sprinkler ports comprising an affixed connection structure operable to removably connect, removably quick-connect, or quick-deploy a riser, a portion of said connection structure, comprising a pair of oppositely-disposed side wall openings structured to permit hydrodynamic flow-through during sprinkler operation, being disposed inside a hydraulic cross-section of said conduit;uncoiling a length of said conduit to dispose said length of conduit as a line across said area; andusing said conduit to irrigate said area as desired; wherein:said conduit is structured and arranged to permit operable partial deployment of said conduit without leaking during irrigation such that said length of said conduit may encompass less than all of the total length of conduit coiled on said spool and such that a subset of said plurality of sprinkler ports that is disposed in conduit remaining on said spool does not leak during said irrigation; andlabor to deploy said length of conduit is reduced compared to use of a plurality of lengths of rigid conduit segments that are coupled end-to-end during deployment for irrigation. 2. The method according to claim 1, further comprising: removing said length of conduit from said area by coiling said length of conduit onto said spool to permit re-deployment of said conduit to irrigate an area. 3. The method according to claim 2, further comprising: coupling a winding apparatus to said spool; andusing said winding apparatus to wind up said length of conduit onto said spool to retrieve said length of conduit from said area. 4. The method according to claim 3, wherein: said winding apparatus remains at an edge of said area while winding conduit onto said spool. 5. The method according to claim 3, wherein: said winding apparatus travels across said area while winding conduit onto said spool. 6. The method according to claim 1, wherein: each sprinkler port of said plurality of sprinkler ports is associated with a cross-channel stabilizer. 7. The method according to claim 1, wherein: each sprinkler port of said plurality of sprinkler ports comprises a pop-up riser, a portion of said pop-up riser being biased for disposition inside said hydraulic cross-section of said conduit. 8. The method according to claim 7, wherein: the pop-up riser of each sprinkler port of said plurality of sprinkler ports further comprises valve structure operable to resist discharge of fluid there-through to permit control of fluid flow through its associated sprinkler port. 9. The method according to claim 1, wherein: each sprinkler port of said plurality of sprinkler ports comprises an affixed threaded socket structured to couple with an end of a threaded riser, a portion of said threaded socket protruding into said hydraulic cross-section of said conduit. 10. The method according to claim 1, wherein: reinforcement structure to locally reinforce each sprinkler port of said plurality of sprinkler ports is configured to protrude above a local exterior surface of said conduit by less than a local thickness of a wall of said conduit. 11. The method according to claim 1, wherein: reinforcement structure to locally reinforce each sprinkler port of said plurality of sprinkler ports is configured to protrude above the surface of said conduit by less than about ⅛ inch. 12. The method according to claim 1, wherein: an exterior surface of a hydraulic cross-section of said conduit is structured to interface with a horizontal surface onto which said conduit is deployed to automatically align all deployed sprinkler ports for discharge in a substantially common vertical direction upon deployment of said length of conduit as said line and during use of deployed conduit for irrigation. 13. The method according to claim 1, further comprising: disposing said spool at an edge of said area and on a rolling support structured to engage rim portions of said spool to permit unspooling said length of conduit from said spool; anddragging a free end of said conduit to unspool said length of conduit from said spool and dispose said length of conduit in said field. 14. A method for irrigating an area, comprising: providing a fluid conduit coiled on a spool, said conduit comprising a plurality of sprinkler ports disposed spaced apart along a length axis of said conduit, each sprinkler port of said plurality of sprinkler ports comprising an affixed connection structure operable to removably quick-connect, or quick-deploy a riser, a portion of said connection structure being disposed inside a hydraulic cross-section of said conduit;uncoiling a length of said conduit to dispose said length of conduit as a line across said area; andusing said conduit to irrigate said area as desired; wherein:said conduit is structured and arranged to permit operable partial deployment of said conduit without leaking during irrigation such that said length of said conduit may encompass less than all of the total length of conduit coiled on said spool and such that sprinkler ports disposed in conduit remaining on said spool do not leak during said irrigation; andlabor to deploy said length of conduit is reduced compared to use of a plurality of lengths of rigid conduit segments that are coupled end-to-end during deployment for irrigation; wherein:each sprinkler port of said plurality of sprinkler ports comprises a quick-connect with a valve seal member being disposed inside said hydraulic cross-section, wherein:said quick-connect valve is a spring-biased bayonet quick-connect valve. 15. The method according to claim 14, wherein: an internal quick-connect valve is structured to operate as a normally-closed check valve. 16. A method for irrigating an area, comprising: providing a fluid conduit coiled on a spool, said conduit comprising a plurality of sprinkler ports disposed spaced apart along a length axis of said conduit, each sprinkler port of said plurality of sprinkler ports comprising quick-connect structure having a normally-closed valve, said quick-connect structure being configured to couple with a riser structured to open said valve upon coupling said riser to said quick-connect structure and thereby permit fluid flow toward a fluid emitter, a wetted portion of said quick-connect structure, comprising a pair of oppositely-disposed side wall openings structured to permit hydrodynamic flow-through during sprinkler operation, being disposed inside a hydraulic cross-section of said conduit;deploying a length of said conduit to dispose said length of conduit as a line across said area; and using said conduit to irrigate said area as desired. 17. A method for irrigating an area, comprising: providing a fluid conduit coiled on a spool, said conduit comprising a plurality of sprinkler ports disposed spaced apart along a length axis of said conduit, each sprinkler port of said plurality of sprinkler ports comprising a cross-channel stabilizer disposed inside a hydraulic cross-section of said conduit, each said cross-channel stabilizer comprising a leg spanning between a first anchor and a second anchor spaced apart from each other across the respective hydraulic cross-section of said fluid conduit and a pair of oppositely-disposed side wall openings structured to permit hydrodynamic flow-through during sprinkler operation, each sprinkler port further comprising a normally-closed valve with a valve seal member disposed in the hydraulic cross-section of said conduit;uncoiling a length of said conduit to dispose said length of conduit as a line across said area; and using said conduit to irrigate said area as desired. 18.
