Product Description

Amazon.com Review

While the whir and click of traditional sprinklers is outdoor music to some, others prefer to keep their irrigation system off the lawn and out of hearing. The Fiskars 5/8-inch by 50-foot soaker hose is perfect in this respect, as it can be discreetly woven through flower beds, laid among shrubbery, or even buried. This soaker features Aquapore technology, which allows water to weep through the entire length of a hose that is easily attachable to just about any outside spigot or existing garden hose. Endorsed by the American Rose Society, this soaker hose helps protect your precious plants by watering the roots directly and keeping moisture from the foliage, minimizing the risk of plant disease. Environmentally minded gardeners will also be pleased that this product is made from 65% recycled tire rubber and uses up to 70% less water than standard watering devices, which waste water due to evaporation. Because this irrigation device is designed for lower water pressure and longer watering sessions than normal sprinklers, it also prevents runoff, lowering the probability of watering unwanted weeds along with your garden plants.

From the Manufacturer

Fiskars Worry-Free Soaker Hoses soak water directly to the roots, and the gradual weeping uses up to 70% less water then conventional watering methods. Simply weave the hose through your flower beds or garden, connect it to a water source and walk away. It's that easy!

This review is from: Fiskars 71501-6 Soaker Hose 5/8-Inch x 50' (Lawn & Patio)

Bought two of these this spring...both of them leaked so badly from a poorly fitted hose end that I have had to replace the coupling. Go for Swan or some other brand with better (or at least SOME?) quality control.
