Soaker Hoses are a great tool to use in the garden. Water is delivered to the plants directly at the root zone, close to the roots. This keeps the foliage dry, reducing the chances of fungal infection in the plants. This is especially important with roses, for example, which do not like having wet foliage. Soaker hoses are an efficient way to water large plantings such as newly planted privacy hedges. In the case of hedges or mass plantings, no matter how good our intentions are, watering never takes place as judiciously as we intend. Add an Automatic Timer to your soaker hoses and create an automatic irrigation system Soaker hoses can be buried under the mulch layer, so they are not seen. We also recommend adding an automatic timer at the spigot, which can create an automated irrigation system for your landscape. Just set it and forget it. Even if you go on vacation, you’ll rest easy knowing your newly planted hedges are being watered.
