Is it possible to use plastic mulch without drip irrigation?

[Henlus]

Manual weed control is back-breaking and painfully slow. It is also very costly. I like the idea of controlling weeds with plastic mulch but everything read say that a source of water should be installed under the mulch since it is impermeable. But I can't afford to install any of those. Does anyone have a brilliant idea on how to irrigate the plant without installing drip irrigation? I'll appreciate ur ideas. Thanks.

Like in some pictures i've seen, the holes for the plant is made large enough for rainwater to flow into it.
