Default D****d Drip Hoses! ARGH!

yep. water pressure too high. I just have a turn off valve between the soaker and
my timer and cut the pressure back that way. works great. Ingrid

Sounds like the water pressure was too high. You might want to consider
investing in a pressure regulator that attaches to your hose bib. Soaker and
drip systems need very low water pressure to be efficient. Unfortunately, that
also means they need to be used in very short runs, so that adequate pressure is
maintained along the length.
