Soaker Hose for Garden, Raised Beds and Foundation Watering (50 ft)
Category: flexon soaker hose kit
The soaker hose is made from a partially permeable material, which allows it to evenly distribute water over its entire length. When the water is turned on, it slowly sprays out from the entire length of the soaker hose, not just from a straight line of holes. These hoses rest on the ground around the garden, soaking the surrounding soil.
There are two methods for using a soaker hose. Placed on the surface of the soil, the soaker hoses deliver water steadily to the plants. Alternatively, by mulching the hoses, they can be hidden from view, preventing stumbles, and helping to retain the moisture they provide.
Soaker hoses offer reliable water delivery at ground level, keeping the foliage on plants dry and free from fungal growth, while helping to conserve water. This targeted approach to watering uses less water to keep plants growing and healthy. Soaker hoses typically have a low up-front investment for the average home garden and can be used with timers to further conserve water.
The soaker hose fittings are screw fittings, allowing the end of the hose to be connected to another hose or the exterior faucet on the house. Installing a soaker hose is a straightforward process: simply hook it up to the nearest faucet or rain barrel and snake it around the plants that need watering.
For optimal performance, the ideal pressure for this type of soaker hose is around 10 PSI, which ensures a slow dripping of water. If the pressure is too high, the water will become a sprinkle. These soaker hoses are available in various lengths, including 10 ft, 25 ft, 50 ft, 75 ft, 100 ft, and 150 ft. Choosing the appropriate length is important, as anything longer than these options may decrease the water pressure or require higher water pressure.
