I am a gradening newbie and I have never seen this kind of hose in action - apart from the big brand names many of the DIY chains have their own brand versions - and I have a tough time imagnining how the sprinkle or soak action would work. However, if it does it sounds like a neat idea.

Any thoughts?
Just tried googling for Sprinkler/Soaker hose review. It came up with reviews for a brand called Gilmour (which I assume is American). Every single reviewer has said that the hose works for starters. The the holes at the start of the run get bigger and no water reaches the end of the run.

I may be a gardening newbie but I am an engineer and I had a tough time understanding how it could work. By the looks of it - it does not.
