Thanks for watching! Stay tuned for more!
Good, short, informative video! Thank you!
Thank you for this video!!! I got two of these soaker hoses 50 feet each for $7.99 each! I was afraid I had gotten the wrong ones, thanks to your video, I’m a happy camper 🤩🤩🤩
Wow great price! Where did you get it?
Thanks!
Thank you brother
Great video. Yesterday I purchased two 50 foot 3/4" flat soaker hoses from Harbor Freight ($10 each). They look identical to the hose you reviewed and performed just as well. The brand name is One Step Gardens. What I want to see is how to repair and or splice these types of hoses. My plan is to create custom lengths and perhaps make a circle or loop soaker for a few trees. The hose comes with three Miser discs to decrease water flow up to 75%.
I purchased the same one also last year from HF...
Thank you
I like your new video today buddy
I love my Melnor soaker hose
Thank you for this informative video! How is this hose holding up today/how long do these last?
Can you show how you splice? I opened one up and wasn’t sure. I am super frustrated because O need to have 8 different soaker pieces for my 8 raised beds and cannot find a good solution
Do you think they would work with a gravity fed rain barrel or ibc tote?
Can you circle a soaker around a plant?
i need a soaker hose to connect to a rain barrel (4-5 psi maybe?)... this way i can keep dissipating water non stop...
I think Gilmore is the same hose. I called Gilmore and they said not more than 15lbs pressure. So I bought a reducer from drip depot. Also an Amazon same company.
I bought 2 of these 3 years ago and this year they started to water unevenly. So, I put them away and now I'm back to watering manually. Very frustrating.
Thanks for the video. Personally I hate that type of hose. I've used both in my 3000 ft² vegetable garden and I prefer the other hoses. Just don't bury them and it will last a very long time. That flat soaker hose does not last. The rubber inside the rubber hose inside breaks as well as the threaded stitching and they leak a lot.
I bought one and it has popped a leak in about the middle. It doesn't do any better than the rubber ones.
I just got 2 of these. I cannot figure out where to put one of the little discs on to reduce the amount of water at one time. Can you help?
I also added this between the spigot and the hose: Drip Irrigation Faucet Adapter Kit: Connect 1/2" Tubing to Faucet or Hose, Backflow Preventer, Filter, Pressure Regulator 25 psi
I should be able to help. I can’t open any links in the comments. Email me the link at

I unscrewed the cap off while the water was on cause I didn't know why the cap was on (wondering if it even belonged there) & got sprayed right in the face. It was funny! 😅 My neighbor across from me was watching, I'm sure she thought it was funny too! 🤭
That's why it's called "soaker" hose. 😁
I have this hose and it does work. My only questions are (1) it tends to kink when trying to move around bushes, but it does not appear to prevent the remaining length to seep water. Should I be concerned with kinking? (2) how deep should I burry the hose? Thanks
I'm having the same issues... using in a flower bed so not in long straight rows like a food garden. I'm not sure if I'm even going to be able to use it now.
@@emilystubbs5650 Hi Emily. I posted my comment a year ago and you're the only one to have replied! It's nice to know I'm not the only one. I decided to chuck it and just use the ol' standby that works every time it's tried. A small sprinkler on trickle! 😂
@@rickgregory9616 haha, well yeah I may have to do the same!
I’m trying to use this connected to a rain barrel and now I’m seeing i likely don’t have enough pressure for it to soak.
Probably right. Need pressure (which equals more flow) to fill the entire hose before it drains out.
Also looking to add on to a raised rain barrel.
I think you should try it. The biggest problem with soaker hoses is overpressure. They work better with low pressure.
There’s no way this will work without a pump to create pressure.
Are these non toxic for vegetable garden? There are drinking water grade soaker hoses.
I'm trying to find out too but all I can get are vague answers, such as "don't see why not..| - "appears to be safe.."
manufacturer responded "yes safe for gardens", but then when the mystery of what it's made of?
red flag for me
the following site lists high levels of Chlorine, which suggests the presence of PVC polymer
www.ecocenter.org/healthy-stuff/samples/melnor-flat-soaker-hose
Do you or anyone reading this know if there is way to reduce the water pressure right before the connection of the soaker hose as I'm planning to connect it to a unused zone of my inground sprinkler system. I'm planning on connecting 150' of soaker hose.
Yes, mines comes with miser disc to decrease water flow up-to75%.

Is there a way to trim it to fit your garden?
I’m going to cut them for my garden beds. I’ll let you know 😉😉😉
@@moonchildgarcia8999 how did the splicing go?
@@rebeccavanwoudenberg1847 I also would like to know how to splice them
@@moonchildgarcia8999 how did it go?
Have you tried burying it? I have a couple of Gilmour hoses 25 ft hoses that look identical to what you have. I have not yet tried to bury it. Just curious. Thank you.
As a manufacturer of producing this soaker hose, I can say it can be buried and work well.
Awesome to hear!
@@lightingup4295 how can you splice it?

These are total and utter crap; lasted less than a month in my garden. Avoid like the plague.
Awful soaker hose
Thanks!
