Flat Soaker Hose

Comments about Flat Soaker Hose:

Unlike other soak er hoses that I've used it moved easily to the positions that I wanted. The real test of this product will be with the 110 degree heat of the summer. If the ease of shaping is any indication it should be a great product.

Comments about Flat Soaker Hose:

it does what it is supposed to do, slowly soak in.

I replaced a 10 year old soaker hose in a large outdoor garden bed with this flat soaker hose. I used 100 feet of hose, just like the previous installation, and also installed a flow regulator, as recommended.

I liked the ease of laying out the flat hose - it was much easier to place it than the previous soaker hose. However, I was disappointed when I turned it on. The water dripped out only in the first 10 feet. I worked on the kinks in the hose, and got water to flow all the way to the end, but it still really only drips water at the beginning. I'm going to remove the pressure regulator and try again. I would only use this hose for straight line installations - if you need to curve the hose at all, it seems to affect the water flow severely.

Comments about Flat Soaker Hose:

It didn't really appear to save water, since it the water had to stay on even longer to water the plants

Bought it late this summer to string around my 10 x 10 ft corn patch and find it works well running off the house water supply. The flexibiity and ease of storage are great features for this application. Earlier in the season I water with a pump off an irrigation ditch and was told by the customer service person on the phone I may need a pressure regulator for that purpose, which I will check out next year.

We have used other soaker hoses but are the happiest with the performance of the one we bought from Gardeners Supply.

Comments about Flat Soaker Hose:

I have a rather awkward strip of lawn that is difficult to water absent a soaker hose like this. I went through a couple off the shelf rubber type "sprinkler hoses" that pretty much burst under pressure and sun exposure. This products design and fabric makes it easy to position and with the pressure regulator, I see that it will likely last a long time.

I use this amazing soaker for my roses and perennial garden, its flexible, sturdy and long enough to cover my entire flower bed. It's made from a nylon material that evenly waters the toes of my flowers and generously soaks each one. I am so happy I found this soaker. I plan to continue using it until the season is over.

I have a collection of over a hundred species. All
are resistant to heat/drought. This excellent hose
allows me to irrigate when no rain falls during
reasonable time periods.

Its flexibility,light weight, soft texture allows to use it
folded in half, without any damage to my plants, or water waste.

It beats watering with a hose or any other sprinkler type of irrigation since there is no
evaporation.

One of the best tools any gardener can have at home.

I have a long, narrow garden with shrubs and flowers along one side of my house. Two hoses placed with the open ends near each other allow me to water when needed without waste.
