Supplemental pump for home garden irrigation

Greetings:

I have installed a drip irrigation system in a kitchen garden of approximately

300 square feet. The footage is irrigated by two trunk lines of standard drip

hose with approximately 25 1 GPH nipples in each trunk. The nipples are

attached by 2 foot lengths of 1/4 inch connector hose to misters rated at

3 to 5 GPH. The entire trunk is attached to standard garden hose of about

50 feet in length which is then attached to a city water supply.

As you might imagine, the misters dribble but do not mist.

I purchased a supplemental pump rated a 350GPH which I intend to attach to

to the house spigot on one side and the 50 foot garden hose on the other.

Will this accomplish my goal of adequately driving the misters?

Thanks
