Really tired of cheap soaker hoses that spring leaks or don't convey water all the way.

Use for straight 50' line of roses.

Looked around on-line and became curious if -- in similar situations, e.g. line of ornamentals -- people have had luck with dripline. I've never tried it.

Another q. about soaker/whatever hoses: Is it worth the extra cost for rubber hoses rather than plastic? Some on-line comments suggest as much.

Any wisdom gratefully received.
