What Is A Soaker Hose? A soaker hose is distinguished by its design. These hoses look like most other garden hoses, but there is a crucial difference. The soaker hose has tiny pores along its length that aren't that different from the pores on your skin. These pores allow water to slowly escape from the hose. When a soaker hose is placed in your garden, the low water pressure allows an efficient flow from the hose directly to the base of the plants. This means that you are getting more water to the root system and less water in places where it will quickly evaporate. How Does a Soaker Hose Work? The porous material of a soaker hose allows water to seep out at an even, slow rate. This lets the water soak into the ground around the base of your plants where it is needed most.You don't need any special type of equipment to use a garden soaker hose. It attaches to your outdoor spigot just like any other type. Soaker hoses also come in many lengths. You can buy them in 25', 50' or 100' varieties.To use the soaker hose, you simply place it in the garden where it rests near the base of the plants. Once placed, it does not have to be moved unless you need coverage in multiple areas. You simply turn on the water and allow the hose to saturate the ground.Does a soaker hose need pressure? Very little, in fact. The porous material of the hose does a great job of keeping the water pressure low. You may not even need to open your spigot all the way when using a soaker hose. The Benefits of Garden Soaker Hoses This type of hose will always deliver maximum efficiency when it comes to watering your garden. This is mostly due to how the water from a soaker hose is distributed.When you water with a sprinkler or by hand, you likely use more water than necessary. Most of the water never reaches the root system. It is instead delivered to the leaves of the plants, where it can cause problems like mold and rot. However, all the water delivered by a soaker hose goes right to the area near the root system of your plants. It can be easily absorbed as needed to keep your plants healthy.Convenience! The busy life of today's homeowner means that many people have little time for gardening. The need to monitor the water disbursement of a regular garden hose with or without a sprinkler is time-consuming. Once you have placed a soaker hose in your garden, you only need to turn it on for a certain period of time to achieve the results you desire. Round Soaker Hose Round soaker hoses are more versatile because they can be used on straight rows and snaked around various bushes and trees, usually without kinking. Round soaker hoses tend to be more flexible and durable, they often last longer than flat vinyl hoses. Besides, the round soaker hoses can be buried under 1 to 2 inches of mulch. NOTE: Too high water pressure maybe damage the soaker hose
