I was not using "soaker hose" because of the expense (I
think I was referring to it as drip irrigation hose, but I know what
you're talking about- its the black stuff that looks like garden hose
that sweats). It's the stuff that was running about $25 a roll

Earlier this year (they're sold out now) Costco had 100' soaker hoses
for $13. Home Depot still has 75' hoses for $13, and 50' hoses for $10.
