The EXPERT GARDENER soaker hose is used to water an entire location minimizing unnecessary runoff. Yes, all of the hose weeps water! You can choose to use the flow disc to help restrict the water flow. We also recommend the EXPERT GARDENER mechanical water timer (sold separately) so you don't over water. *3/4" female end fits standard garden hose. *Heavy-duty woven nylon sleeve helps durability. *Lay flat on the ground and let the water weep. *Soaks roots and soil directly and won't damage plants. *Recommend using an EXPERT GARDENER garden hose (sold separately) to extend the soaker hose from your outdoor spigot where needed.
