Is there a good way to "unclog" a soaker hose which has started to get
sluggish from such deposits after a season's worth of use ?

I'm getting ready to put two of mine away for the year, and I'd
appreciate suggestions on their "care & feeding" :-)


Funny thing. This town (Chelmsford, MA) is well known for its hard
water, but it hasn't clogged the soaker hoses. We use the $9 hoses from
Home Depot.
