SOAKER HOSE

Save you water, time, and even money.

How to Install?

1. Remove the end cap and hook the soaker hose up to a water source.
2. Run water for several minutes to flush the hose. It’s best to flush new hoses before using them and again one or two times each year to remove any debris that has built up.
3. If the garden area to be watered is close to a faucet, the soaker hose can be connected directly to the spout. However, if more length is needed before the soaker hose will reach the area it will water, a regular garden hose can be connected to the main water source first. Then the soaker hose can be connected from the far end of the garden hose.
4. Stretch the hose out and turn the water on, adjusting the pressure until you see a slow but steady drip.

Where to Place?

• For flowers, vegetables, or shrubs planted in a line, lay the hose straight along the rows. If they are not planted in a straight line, snake the hose in and out around each plant.
• For established plants, hoses should lay about 2 inches from plant stems. For new plants or annuals, closer spacing is suggested, since their roots are shallower.
• Make extra loops around any plants that need more water. 

Benefits of Using a Soaker Hose

1. Water conservation – water goes straight to your plants.
2. Prevent overwatering – easy to ensure you are giving your yard the exact amount of water it needs.
3. Prevent weeds – By only watering the plants you are trying to grow. Weeds won’t get the water they desperately need.
4. Quick and productive growth – Ensures you are giving even amounts of water to your plants. 
5. Healthy growth – The leaves of your plants won’t end up wet, preventing many mildew issues and other foliage diseases.
