These siphon systems are supposed to have a design that prevents back
flow. But I don't like to send anything through the garden hose that
is not potable water.
How about filling a garbage can with water and fish emulsion or such,
maybe elevated on some blocks, and using a dedicated hose plus gravity
to siphon the liquid out of the garbage can onto the yard?

I'm assuming drip irrigation but I may be mistaken.
Each foot of water = .43 psi. You'd need about 25' to get to the 10 psi
that most drippers need.

Oh, you can always punch holes (hot needle) into a length of pvc.

Don't consider anything coming through a hose as potable unless the hose is
marked food grade.
