Greenkey Soaker Hose: Water-Saving Sprinkler Hosepipe For Watering Garden Plant Rows, Flower Beds & Vegetable Patch - Easy To Use, Hose Length 20m

Perfect soaker hose, does the job nicely especially where my flower bed meets the brick wall. The only downside is that it doesnt come with an end stop so if you dont want to attach it to another hose (connector included for this purpose) the water gushes out so I would definitely advise purchasing one otherwise I would have given it 5 stars.

Bought this to use in my polytunnel to water tomatoe, squash, sweetcorn, pepper and melons.I use a water barrel raised 1meter to provide the water pressure, but find it still requires the occasional use of a mains tap to allow it function it correctly. I have found that the plants roots seek out the pipe, but unfortunately, I have also managed to puncture it in various places when using a garden hand fork to dig out the roots. I have found it best to cut the pipe at the hole, and use a cheap pipe joiner to repair.I drain it in the winter and take it out of the soil to allow me to dig in manure and compost.A very useful aid when on holiday, as it keeps the plants from drying out.

I put this in my flower border so that I did not have to keep watering. Just put in the right position and then connect to the hose when you need to. My border has looked really good this summer and I have saved water as I usually put the sprinkler on. Highly recommended.

This soaker hose works well off mains pressure water i.e. from a garden tap at 3 bar.However, if you want it to run off a gravity fed water butt forget it. Unlike some other soaker hoses the hose wall material is too dense to release any water at low pressure, I tried it with a 1000 gallon water tank on a small stand for a month and nothing came through.

Good though didn't receive a stopper end with it.

This looked good at first... unwrapped it and laid it out to full length to check it before placing it around the veg plot where it was to replace a hose purchased last year that had started spraying out from several places.Plugged it in to the hose and it looked great, water soaking out perfectly... checked the whole length and it wasn't until the last 2 or 3 metres, where it had been wound up more tightly than the rest, that I spotted 2 very big 'leaks' with water spraying out. See photos. Not just small sprays, but big sprays. I know it's a soaker hose and is supposed to be leaky but mini fountains are not good.I have tried fixing the leaks with self amalgamating tape and hopefully this will work, otherwise I shall be returning this. Have been unable to test it as yet due to the rain and being busy.

The fact that it comes with fitted attachments makes it much easier and more secure to use. Doing a grand job on my rose bed at the moment.
