Soaker hoses offer an efficient and cost-effective watering solution for gardens ranging from small to extensive in size. They allow water to slowly seep out through tiny pores along the rubber hose at a flow rate that the ground and plants can absorb, providing the optimal moisture content. Featuring an open end cap, these soaker hoses make a great replacement for old, worn-out models.

Soaker hoses work best for smaller gardens on level ground and provide an excellent solution for beds with closely grouped, multiple plants. They come equipped with the necessary washers to control water pressure, making them easy to maneuver into place and deliver water precisely where it's needed. Users can easily trim the hoses to the desired length and snake them through the garden, keeping water off the leaves and directed onto the roots.

The package includes a 50-foot, 3/8-inch soaker hose, 2 end caps, 2 female connectors, 1 feeder, 3 tees, 3 tee plugs, and 6 hose stakes. It's important to note that typical water pressure should be 60 psi or less, as higher pressure may damage the hose. The hose arrives coiled, but a few minutes in the sun will help it relax and become more pliable.

Soaker hoses should not be bent or turned sharply, and the water should not be allowed to freeze inside. If using "dirty" water, a very fine filter is recommended to prevent clogging. It's crucial to avoid burying the soaker hoses, as plant roots can grow through them. Instead, the hoses should be laid flat on the soil and covered with mulch.

Compared to traditional sprinkling systems, soaker hoses can save up to 70% more water, as they slowly and directly deliver moisture to the roots. This eliminates the need for manual watering, allowing users to simply turn on the spigot and let the hoses do the work, even when away on vacation.

Soaker hoses are a versatile solution, suitable for overwatering or underwatering plants. They can be snaked around landscaping, watering foundations, flower beds, and vegetable plots in raised or garden beds, ensuring plants receive the right amount of water for optimal growth. For best results, the hoses should be laid 12-18 inches apart on sandy soil and 18-24 inches apart on loam or clay soil.

Installation is straightforward: simply unwind the hose, let it relax in the sun for an hour, and then cut it to the desired size. Connect it to the water supply, spread it out in a line, and turn on the water. The flat design provides flexibility, making it easy to lay and weave the hose around plants during the growing season.

The 50-foot length is suitable for small to medium-sized gardens, and the open end cap allows for connection to additional hoses, enabling coverage of larger areas. Constructed from high-quality, durable materials, including 100% recycled rubber and polyethylene, these soaker hoses are resistant to oxidation and can withstand a range of temperatures, making them a low-maintenance, long-lasting watering solution.
