Making a soaker hose.

 

I need a short length of soaker hose. Can I take a regular hose and
drill holes into it to make one?
If so, how far apart and what diameter hole do I need.

What's a "short length"???


Soaker hoses are not very expensive... seems stupid to ruin a
perfectly good hose instead... and drilling a bunch of holes won't
make it a soaker hose.

 

I need an 10 foot length  so that it waters the back of my raised bed.

How do you water the rest of the raised bed... makes more sense to
water it all the same way.  Anyway, soaker hoses can be clamped closed
at any point.

Please do not top post.

 

it might work better to drill out a 10' piece of PVC. bury under the mulch. the
secret is a filter on the hose and ramping the pressure down so there isnt a
series
of water jets.
