of doing
something similar using old pvc pipes, porous
"skin"
pipes connected to a water tank.

I'm not sure what you really mean. The porous or leaky hoses
wouldn't
be fitted directly onto a water tank surely???


No, the porous "skin" pipes that sweat water will be laid in the
flower
beds - and to water them- they simply sweat. Its not a good idea??

My experience of these is that they don't work well - one end is
always quite wet (the end nearest the water source) and the other end
is too dry.
