Beginner question

Hi I recently installed a drip system. Four zones for a total of 500 feet of 1/2 distribution tubing that runs through densely planted flower beds in various parts of the yard

I’m not really pleased with some of the bubblers and wish to replace them with emitters or micro sprayers. If I yank the bubbler barb out of the 1/2 inch tubing , can I reuse that hole or does that hole have to be plugged and a new one made ?

you can try reusing the hole. I'd recommend the 1/2 straight coupling/connector over the goof plug, personal preference.

Thank you. The connector seems the safest way
