Product Information

Full details

The Gardening Naturally 30m porous soaker hose is an ideal solution for gardeners and allotment owners who want to automate efficient, low-waste irrigation directly to the root zones of their plants. By seeping water constantly and slowly, it minimizes evaporation and runoff, making it perfect for raised beds, kitchen gardens, and shrubberies. While highly effective for deep root hydration, it requires a low-pressure water source to function correctly and should not be attached to high-pressure systems without a flow regulator.

FAQs

Can this hose be buried underground?

Yes, you can bury it under a few inches of soil or mulch to keep it hidden and reduce water evaporation further.

What is the flow rate of the soaker hose?

This is a low-pressure device designed to seep water, not spray it, so the flow rate is slow and steady to encourage deep soil saturation.

Does this kit include everything I need?

Yes, it includes the 30m hose, a connector, and an end bung to seal the system.

Can I connect multiple lengths together?

While possible with additional connectors, extending the length significantly may require higher pressure to maintain effective seepage at the far end.

Will this work with a timer?

Yes, you can attach the hose to a standard garden watering timer on a mains tap, provided you keep the pressure setting low.

Troubleshooting

Water is not seeping from the hose

Check the connection to the water source to ensure the tap is open and inspect the hose for any sharp kinks or blockages.

Water is spraying instead of seeping

The water pressure is too high. Reduce the flow at the tap or install a pressure reducer if using a mains connection.

Uneven water distribution along the 30m length

Ensure the hose is laid as flat as possible. If the ground is sloped, place the water source at the highest point to encourage consistent flow.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Reduces water wastage through slow, precise seepage
  • Promotes healthier plant growth by targeting root systems
  • Can be buried for a tidy, hidden irrigation setup
  • Compatible with both mains and water butts
  • Includes all necessary fittings for immediate installation

Cons

  • Requires low water pressure to operate optimally
  • Material may be susceptible to kinks if not laid carefully
  • Not intended for high-pressure irrigation systems

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To set up your system, first attach the provided connector to your water source. Lay the 30m hose in the desired pattern through your garden beds, ensuring no sharp bends that might restrict flow. Once the hose is in position, place the included end bung at the final point of the hose to ensure pressure builds within the pipe.

  • Compatibility: Features a 16mm outer diameter and 13mm inner diameter, compatible with standard garden hose fittings.
  • Maintenance: Periodically check for any blockages caused by soil or algae buildup. If the hose stops seeping, ensure the line is free of sediment. Before winter, it is recommended to disconnect the hose, drain it completely, and store it in a dry location to prevent frost damage to the porous material.
