“Great website providing clear information and instructions on all products.
What I love about this weeper hose is that its so easy to manipulate it to allow the water to permeate in the exact spot that you want. Most importantly It saves water.. By root watering It prevents foliage being burnt and minimises black spot from the usual overhead watering. You can actually see the benefits.”
“Weeper hoses are a great invention to minimize water loss, and this one is well designed. In effect, Hoselink creates a tube by sewing together two sides of a long length of waterproof cloth. The stitches are spaced, so there are small holes through which the water leaks. The system is (of course) integrated with the Hoselink family and is very easy to install. I have it set with a timer, which works well (so far). The only disadvantage is that on uneven ground the volume of weeping varies according to the elevation of each part of the hose. For my specific current needs (watering seedling trees that have been planted on mounds) it is not working as well as I hoped. Water weeps out in the lower parts of the hose between the mounds but not on the mounds themselves. Ive been able to remedy the problem by raising the weeper hose with bricks and soil. Fortunately it is a local problem. If I create a dip in the hose where I want water, it works well. The overall length of the system (2 x 15m hoses linked) is not causing a problem.”
