Default Water Butt Irrigation

"Kroma" wrote in message
...
Hello,

I have a very dry flower bed along the front of my house as it is

shielded
by part of my roof.
I'm planning to put a water butt at the corner of the house and run a

hose
from it as an overflow. I am hoping to 'drill' some holes along the

length
of the hose and lay this along the aforementioned dry flower bed.

Would
this then irrigate my flower bed as I hope (as long as the water butt

is
full).

Any tips or ideas gratefully received.

Thanks in advance,


Kroma


I do not think that it will work simply because the force of water will
not be sufficient for it to percolate effectively along the length of
hosepipe. Hopefully I am wrong.
