The porous ¼ in. Soaker Tubing gently seeps water out of the entire line, moistening the soil around plants for complete root zone hydration. Easy to install attach the tubing to a larger supply line using a ¼ in. fitting or Clamp N Pierce® connector, and place tubing in the area to be irrigated. The flexible soaker tube is ideal for short runs on flat surfaces such as vegetable gardens and borders, and also great as a watering ring around small plants. With the non-pressure compensating soaker tubing, expect varying water flows based on length of tubing or landscape elevation, with higher flows closer to the water source. The soaker tubing is made of recycled rubber treated with UV inhibitors for durability.
