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.


I've got some I have been using for a few years. I got them used from someone
else, and they had obviously been used before I got them.

Mine came with a washer with a small hose to regulate the water flow/pressure.
