After letting the water run over an hour and finding the soil around the
hose almost dry as a bone, once again I find that the stupid end cap worked
its way off the hose! Every single one of these drip hoses I've laid out has
popped the end cap. I swear there must be a mole twisting them off. Now I've
got a humongous hole under the compost where the water poured out the end.
Man this ****es me off!!!

Sounds to me like you skipped the pressure reducer needed for drip
systems or got one that is stuck open.
Most run 20lbs ,plastic ones are about 6.00 US.
Most house pressure is in excess of 40psi
