Product Description

The porous ¼ in. Soaker Tubing gently seeps water out of the entire line, moistening the soil around plants for complete root zone hydration. Easy to install—attach the tubing to a larger supply line using a ¼ in. fitting or Clamp N Pierce® connector, and place tubing in the area to be irrigated. The flexible soaker tube is ideal for short runs on flat surfaces such as vegetable gardens and borders, and also great as a watering ring around small plants. With the non-pressure compensating soaker tubing, expect varying water flows based on length of tubing or landscape elevation, with higher flows closer to the water source. The soaker tubing is made of recycled rubber treated with UV inhibitors for durability. Drip irrigation systems are easy to customize, install, and operate. As part of a complete system, the soaker tubing evenly waters the root zone of your plants, keeping it moist with water. Your plants maintain the ideal balance between water and air for optimal growth and overall health.

"...The sprinklers have to sit above the dirt and mulch, and are very prone to clogging, and are super finicky to adjust...." Read more

It’s a great product if used correctly, I use it in almost every configuration possible and I am very satisfied with it (Almost 150 ft. installed)After reading some of the negative reviews, (too porous, irregular flow) I would like to point out few tips to my fellow users, with Do’s and Don’t.In the defense of those negative reviews, I must say that the Amzn vendor could have left some instructions…If you look at a 3/4 in. soaking hose, you’ll see that they are equipped with a flow reducer, this one is NOT because it is designed to be cut to size, hence you have to use your own(s). If you remove the flow reducer on a 3/4 garden soaker, you’ll end up with the same issues.Let’s pretend that you have a 20 ft long PVC pipe, and you drill mini holes every inch. Now, open the water valve at full flow and full pressure. You’ll witness that the water shoots out of the first holes at full blast and that the pressure drops for every holes towards the end of the pipe: Each hole reduces the water pressure and volume available for the next one.If your pipe is long enough, the last holes will have very little flow to almost no flow compared to the first ones.Now repeat the experiment with reducing both pressure and volume, you’ll reach a point were you’ll find an equilibrium.The same laws of physics apply here, hence:- Use a pressure reducer: Drip irrigation systems are designed for 20 to 30 PSI, not 60 or 70 like your household plumbing.- Use a pressure compensating drip emitter or a valve at the beginning of the soaking hose. Choose your volume based on the cut length and needs of your plant(s) i.e. 2 GPH for 3ft.- If needed use 2 or more emitters based on the length (both ends)For small plants, or tomatoes, I do not recommend using a “closed loop” but rather a straight line with a goof plug that you wrap around the base of the plant: it can be easily removed/moved/extendedIf using on high slopes, gravity will kick in: Reduce the length of the cutsDo NOT make sharp turn or bend too hard.Do NOT let the water freeze insideIf using “dirty” water, use a very fine filter or you'll clog itDon't burry the line: Plant roots will go through it. Leave the line on the soil and cover it with mulch.Lay it as flat as you can, otherwise water will drip to the lower point.As for the drip emitters, I recommend the Antelco CETA (with barbs). They are fully cleanable. The Rain Birds are not and I had a bunch of issues with Rain Bird emitters. I now stick with the best:

In the defense of those negative reviews, I must say that the Amzn vendor could have left some instructions…

If you look at a 3/4 in. soaking hose, you’ll see that they are equipped with a flow reducer, this one is NOT because it is designed to be cut to size, hence you have to use your own(s). If you remove the flow reducer on a 3/4 garden soaker, you’ll end up with the same issues.

You’ll witness that the water shoots out of the first holes at full blast and that the pressure drops for every holes towards the end of the pipe: Each hole reduces the water pressure and volume available for the next one.
If your pipe is long enough, the last holes will have very little flow to almost no flow compared to the first ones.

Now repeat the experiment with reducing both pressure and volume, you’ll reach a point were you’ll find an equilibrium.
The same laws of physics apply here, hence:

- Use a pressure reducer: Drip irrigation systems are designed for 20 to 30 PSI, not 60 or 70 like your household plumbing.
- Use a pressure compensating drip emitter or a valve at the beginning of the soaking hose. Choose your volume based on the cut length and needs of your plant(s) i.e. 2 GPH for 3ft.
- If needed use 2 or more emitters based on the length (both ends)

For small plants, or tomatoes, I do not recommend using a “closed loop” but rather a straight line with a goof plug that you wrap around the base of the plant: it can be easily removed/moved/extended

If using on high slopes, gravity will kick in: Reduce the length of the cuts
Do NOT make sharp turn or bend too hard.
Do NOT let the water freeze inside
If using “dirty” water, use a very fine filter or you'll clog it
Don't burry the line: Plant roots will go through it. Leave the line on the soil and cover it with mulch.
Lay it as flat as you can, otherwise water will drip to the lower point.

As for the drip emitters, I recommend the Antelco CETA (with barbs). They are fully cleanable. The Rain Birds are not and I had a bunch of issues with Rain Bird emitters. I now stick with the best:
