Any recommendations for a soaker hose? Last year we bought a
sprinkler/soaker hose -- don't recall the brand -- at Lowe's. but toward
the end of the season it was spurting water from a split in the side near
the feed end. This year I cut off the part with the split and attached a
new connector. No there is a new split from which water gushes.

Are soaker hoses fundamentally unsatisfactory, or are there some durable
ones around?

I have not found any that lasted an entire summer, and I have tried many.

I'm thinking about using pastic tubing glued together that I will drill
small holes in and bury around my foundation. I will have an upright tube
near a spigot that I can connect to when needed.
