Default soak hoses watering

Anyone have experience or recommendations regarding same please?


I use a soak hose, under the soil, great for getting the water to the
roots, both my strawberry and raspberry beds, have buried hoses, which
have one end comming up above ground. I connect up a normal hose, when
needed, and you can then see the change in the colour of the soil, as
the water goes directly to the roots. The soak hose was installed
before the fruit was planted.
