If you unwind your hoses and they’re kinked, don’t lay them out in the garden as is. When they unkink, the spacing may change. Unroll the hoses out in the sun for a couple of hours, and that should work out the kinks because of the heat. Permeable Material To Distribute Water - The soaker hose is made from a partially permeable material. The soaker hose will evenly distribute water over the entire length of the hose because of the nature of its make-up. When you turn on the water, it will slowly spray out water from the entire length of the soaker hose, not just from a straight line of holes. They rest on the ground around your garden, soaking the ground around them. Methods for Soaker Hose Usage – There are method to use the soaker hose.

Installing a soaker hose is easy: simply hook up to the nearest faucet or rain barrel and snake around the plants you want watered. Pressure And Length - Ideally, for this type of soaker hose, you are going to want the pressure to be about 10 PSI so that the water drips out of the hose slowly. If the pressure is too high, it will become a sprinkle. These soaker hoses come in 10 ft, 25 ft, 50 ft, 75 ft, 100 ft and 150 ft lengths, so decide which you prefer. Anything longer than these lengths will decrease the water pressure or need higher water pressure.
