Soaker hose offers the perfect delivery of water to plants: slowly, steady release at the soil line. This ensures that water is not wasted. The slow release allows the soil around plant roots to gradually absorb the water. And the proximity of the hose to soil means that very little if any is lost to evaporation. The soaker hose is actually the grandfather of the drip irrigation system. When you attach a soaker to a regular hose and turn on the water supply, water seeps in sweat-like beads from the hose along its entire length. Soaker hose if used properly can help us conserve water and at the same time enjoy beautiful flower gardens, trees as well as great tasting home-grown fruits and vegetables. Also use in raised planters, median strips, foundation stabilization, hanging planters and more. Installing the hose system in your garden is simple enough for just about anyone to do. An underground soaker system is the most effective, because you don’t lose any water to evaporation, and you can soak the roots of plants at a deeper level. Installing your soakers underground is most practical if you’re planning a new garden. You can incorporate the hoses into the garden design, and bury them as you plant your garden. An aboveground soaker system is much easier to install for an existing garden, and the hoses can easily be moved whenever necessary. This type of soaker system is still extremely efficient and effective. You simply place the hose along the ground around the base of your plants, or better still, bury them under garden mulch. If the hose crosses an area of the garden which doesn’t require watering, you simply connect a section of regular hose.
A filter is highly recommended (Use
at least 150 mesh filter). A calcium inhibitor filter (same type of filter
that is used on a misting system) is also recommended for areas with hard
water. For use on a well system, a filter is a MUST so that particles that
might clog the pores of the tubing will be filtered out. Well water
typically has particles of sediment in suspension. Installing a back flow
preventer is highly recommended to stop dirty water backing up through the
hose into your household drinking water supply. This is simply a matter of
installing a one way valve between the water source or spigot and the first
length of hose. |
