Sit down with paper and pencil. You’ll be surprised that 100’ doesn’t go very far.

Buy some plastic pipe, drill holes, glue on a hose fitting to the inlet. Water.

I built a canal system for my garden. It ran up and down the rows. I had the perfect slope and the hose just sat open at one corner. It was a work to behold!!

And I'm a girl.

Get one of those water valves with a timer.

Check out back to Eden gardening on YouTube. You won’t need to water.

I stand over my garden with the hose and soak it myself. I know how much each plant needs.

Soaker hose is fragile - develops rips and tears too easily. You’ll be digging it up and replacing parts all the time. As someone earlier suggested I would go with plastic piping and fittings - drill small holes in the pipe and cap the end.

Make sure you install a filter.

I didn’t and the fine sands plugged the hose, and entire day spent installing it wasted, along with a bunch of money.

I have to agree with Fat Guy in LA.

I had a soaker hose. It lasted for a single year and it was junk after that. Went with PEX hose, drilled holes in it and buried it. It’s been in the garden for over four years with never a problem. I never purge it, and it tolerates being frozen with water in it. A one and done solution.

Take your 100 ft soaker hose in your hands, turn on the water, and slowly move in a 180 degree semi=circle to water your yard. You can have a few more degrees of movement for things around the corner of your house or you can just walk over to the area that needs watering.

Good exercise and everything you want watered gets watered. The plants, trees and grass will love you for it.

What you have is not a soaker hose. It is a drip system. Throw it in the garbage and get yourself a real soaker hose. Next year plant your garden in rows. Lay the soaker hose(s) along the rows. Turn it on when you need to. Works great.

You really need a drip irrigation system. Half-inch black poly tubing as the main lines, then run 1/4 inch lines off to the plants. Easy to design and install. Check out Drip Depot for ideas. Google “drip irrigation design.”

If it’s a true “soaker” hose, you’ll be surprised by how big the pressure drop is from beginning to end. Flow at the tail end is ‘way less than at the head.
