Soaker hose

I have these placed in beds all over the garden. Needed some for new areas. Went to OSH (local homeowners/garden place). Only hose they carry was so crappy, it split even before using. Tried Home Despot. Carried same brand. Decided to revert to previous M.O. : PVC pipe, capped at one end, other end equipped with hose junction. Small holes punched at intervals. Previous endeavour had holes randomly placed; sprayed unevenly. Resolved to do better. How engineer holes along 10' length? How many needed for optimum coverage? First thought: Alternate holes along opposite sides of pipe. But at what intervals? Punch holes at wide intervals and then intersperse if needed? A lot of work. However, once I bought the fittings (pipe courtesy of neighbor) gotta go through with it. Sigh... HB This is going via Timbucktoo. If going to the trouble of buying and laying the hose, connecting it and punching the holes why not go the whole way and insert spray jets? D |
