Best garden water pump?

[Fuddyduddy1952]

I have a good spring fed creek I'd like to rig up an irrigation pump for a garden. One area would be close to the creek, so lift would be 10-15 feet and close to creek. We're not planning on a huge garden, about 40 ft X 80 ft would be fine.
Another area available would be uphill a ways, so lift 100 feet and would need 500 feet of hose. Same size area.
I see solar pumps which I'm sure would work near creek and Harbor Freight has a gasoline pump that should work for uphill.
I'm guessing in dry weather watering twice a week for and hour would be fine?
Any experience is appreciated. I'm hoping to not spend a fortune (maybe around $300-$400?). Thanks!

Pacer gas pump and appropriate hose..

Don't forget that there are hydraulic ram pumps available. No gas, electricity, or solar needed, just flowing water.

I bought a hydraulic ram pump. It really wasn't efficient and I spent hours fooling with it.

WHERE??
"Dry weather" means it hasn't rained in a couple of days in Mississippi, a couple of months in some places in Arizona.

South Central Virginia.
We haven't had a decent rain in two weeks. Overall rainfall is pretty good, just thinking of garden I'll plant.

As a rough approximation, if you are pumping water up 100 ft, you will loose around 43 PSI to gravity. (need 100 psi at the pump for 57 psi at the garden)
