Default Using soaker hose

I can look up sources if it would be useful.


I'm reasonably familiar, thanks, I have such a system for my pots
and hanging baskets, which also extends to a few plants in
another border which need the water.

Certainly worth consideration, but the general advice seems to be
that soakers are less wasteful than sprays. (Until they split and
you have a paddling pool.)
