Steve, all of your claims are rediculous. I am begining to think you are
a Bill Clinton Relative by your insane thinking and by the way you go off
the subject and lie. For one, 8 llbs is how much a full jug would weigh,
this will compact the soil and probably be more prone to disease. I also
know exactly how much water and where it all goes. How could you say I
didn't. I also don't use a soaker hose, I use drip lines. You place it
down in the begining of the year and then you don't have to go out to it or
move it again. All I have to do is place the drippers into the tubing once,
and put an extention on it to have the water go where I want in the amount I
want. Drippers come in half gallon, gallon and two gallon per hour sizes.
Also, it is a plus that they look better, don't play it off like it is
nothing, because if you are married it does matter.
