Re: Jeff's Question

Soaker hoses are easy but not very effective. I've done some testing on them and they are very inconsistent in output with
repect to time, elevation, changes in water pressure, and distance from spigot. A bona fid drip system is not really hard to
design and install -- I hope I made it easy enough in my discussion of drip in WEEDLESS GARDENING. I get my supplies from
Dripworks, in California.
