Watering newly planted stock is extremely important and if you live in an
area where the rainfall in the summer is low or there is a hosepipe ban
investment in a soaker hose kit could be very valuable.

Agralan Soaker Hose (trickle hose) is designed to irrigate easily, efficiently and economically. Ideal for watering newly planted hedges, shrubberies, soft fruit, vegetables, greenhouse benching and bog gardens. It can be run either from mains or a water butt as only low pressure is needed.

The porous pipe can either be laid on the surface of the soil or buried beneath the surface. As the hose delivers the water direct to the soil, nearly all evaporation is eliminated.

The water will spread approximately 0.5m (20ins) either side of the hose, depending on soil type, so on cultivated ground the hose should be laid at 1m (1yd) intervals.
