"Fleemo" asked this:

Does anyone know of a length limitation in a long line of
connected soaker hoses?

Ditto that question!

And how long does a basic Wal-Mart soaker hose last if buried?

And do you snake them around the plants? Or just lay it in a straight run?

And do you place it on the dirt under the mulch or do you actually bury it
an inch or two?

Sheesh, didn't even know I had those questions in me!

Thx in advance,

Thanks for the input here folks.

Replacing the entire system of drip lines in my garden would be a
large and rather expensive chore every season. As a gardening
hobbiest and not a professional grower, I think I'd like to try for a
"permanent" installation.

The drip lines seem to be rather finicky over the long run. I'm
wondering if I could install a series of soaker hoses to replace the
drip lines? Does anyone know of a length limitation in a long line of
connected soaker hoses?
