There was a little concern about my setup because of the soaker hoses maybe getting clogged. Well, for the record...two things happened.
1st.... I never saw any diference in the flow of the hoses..
2nd.... When I went to pull them up at the end of the season, they all cracked and ripped anyhow..so no reason to think they were gonna be any good for 2 seasons...2 seasons and I may have seen clogging. There was debris on the bottom of the hose, nothing major though. I think if the bottom would clog, there is plenty of holes in the sides and top of the hose.
This year I am gonna buy pvc to run my whole system. I will make squares around my planting areas for a drip...That way only the actual plant base will recieve the water and nutrients. Plus it should last alot longer than cheap wally world hoses. When I get it set up I will post pics.
