I am considering the watering hoses which leak water out all the way

Anyone have experience or recommendations regarding same please?


A few years ago I installed a soak hose all around our garden, being
small it wasn't a problem cost wise. Excellent and highly recommended,
just have to turn on the tap of an evening and turn it off in the
morning and everything is watered for a week.
From memory I think ours was Hozelock because that's all the GC had.

Thank you - much appreciated.

I should be able to find something; there is a B&Q and a Golden Days
close to me.

I have installed some lengths of porous hose which I obtained
reasonably priced on ebay, and it seems to be working well. The
material does need careful handling, and if kinked can tear,
however a bag of assorted Ts and joins are quite cheap.

Having sections running in parallel, or as a large loop, rather
than a single long line, can help with pressure drop at the far
end.

Best laid out before your plants put on growth - you can see what
you are doing.
