Default soaker hoses v/s drip irrigation,
wrote:
I am researching these two methods to see which best suits my needs.
In reading about both systems, one concern I have is cost and how
often the systems have to be replaced?
My budget is not large and I want to make the best choice.
I don't mind paying for more if it will be higher quality and last
longer.

Thank you,
Anita

In my experience, the drip irrigation parts last far longer than the
soaker hose. I have used soaker hoses that deteriorated in 3 years. I
have drip lines that have been around for 10 years and still don't leak.
The main enemy of my drip lines has been the lawnmower.
