- Drip watering
- Flower beds
- Root watering
The set-and-forget way to water flower beds, veggie rows and shrubs at the root. Snake it through the bed, cover with mulch, and it drips slowly with far less waste and dry foliage. It's not a lawn or hand-watering tool, and it wants low pressure to soak evenly.
Pros
- Recycled-rubber body weeps along its entire length and can cut water use by roughly 70% vs sprinkling
- Reinforced fittings and an included end cap let you link multiple lengths down long rows
- Delivers water straight to the roots and keeps foliage dry, reducing fungal and mildew problems
Cons
- Needs low pressure (about 25-30 psi) or a reducer, or output is heavy at the tap and dry at the far end
- Beds and rows only — it can't hand-spray or water a lawn, and hard water can clog the pores
- Best buried under mulch; left in the sun the rubber can dry out and crack over a few seasons
