What about so-called "leaky pipe", the rough-surfaced hose from recycled
tires. I have read good things about it, but not tried it. It is said to leak
out just as much water as the plants need, and no more, working on the
principle of capillary attraction. Which I understand to mean that as the
plants suck the water out of the ground, the then dry ground sucks the water
out of the leaky pipe to become wet again.
Does any one know about this, and have good or bad things to say about it?
Regards,
Bob Stelloh
