soaker hoses re-visited


When running muliple soaker hoses it is better to run them in a
parallel fashion as opposed to hooking them up together in series most
of the water will come out of the first hose and by the time it gets
to the end of the second or thrid hose it's a trickle.

use smaller regular hoses with siamese valve connectors this way you
can control the flow to the different soaker hoses and not just have
the water pour out the first hose.

save the old hose, you know the one with the hole in it and go to the
hardware store and buy the male and female couplings and make your own
hoses.
