Gilmour Round Soaker Hose 5/8", 50ft, Black Hose. Ideal for new plantings, shrubs, bushes and raised beds, the soaker hose releases water from a flexible, vinyl hose directly into the soil. Water without waste by delivering a steady stream no faster than the ground can absorb it, deep into the soil-not pooling on top of it. The 50-foot Water Weeper Hose is one of Gilmour's specialty soft soaking hoses. It provides gentle, even soaking as water "weeps" through thousands of pores. The hose is extremely flexible for precise positioning around plants and beside flower beds. It saves water by reducing evaporation and targeting specific areas that need to be watered, thereby cutting down on over-saturation and water waste. It can be used above ground or buried, so you have the flexibility you need to work with your water system. The hose is made of 100% recycled vinyl so that it's weather and wear resistant and it has durable brass couplings for extra strength at the connection points. You can count on quality and dependability from Gilmour products, since Gilmour has the best free replacement policy in the business-if the product does not give you complete satisfaction, it will be replaced free of charge.
