Best way to uncoil the hose is to temporary put a 5 gallon bucket or something on one end and unroll the coil. It will lay out straight and not in loops. Just pulling it apart like in the video will give you those coils. Hope this helps a little.

Very Very helpful. This was exactly what I was looking for. I was curious about different soil types, installation, spread, timing. Thanks for sharing.

Thank you for this! There is like nothing decent out there about how to put this thing together. Thank you for taking them time to show us your work.

Thanks a lot! That's the best video among all videos I've seen about Soaker system.

Great video. Just purchased the kit under a different name. The key here is to keep it out of the sun and in the winter (if it freezes in your area) take it out and let it dry and store it somewhere out of the sun.

Thank you Papa. Uber respect, I just bought one this year and watching what you just did will make it a whole lot easier. I'm going to use the same layout method that you did but I'm using containers, I use 42 liter gray containers from Walmart. I'm going to line them up make small little Groove to hold the hose and do exactly what you did ....... Two thumbs up. 👍🏿👍🏿😊😊 PS there is one thing I would do. Before I connect the hose I would run it to make sure the water is cool because I'm using containers and I don't want to cook my roots😮

So glad to have found this video. I echo previous comments - this is the nitty gritty of how to get the system to work. I have also observed that the hose is efficient to about 80 feet. I am now experimenting with another technique - I have created a closed hose loop by bringing the end of the hose right around to the beginning, where the garden hose feeds, and I am actually putting water into both ends at the same time, very low pressure of course. This seems to have solved the problem of getting the hose to seep along its full length. I will be applying mulch and covering up as much of the hose and fittings to protect from UV as possible. Thanks again.

Great video, he answered all of my questions about soaker hose. Thank you

Thanks for video James. I appreciate how detailed your film and comments are. I felt reassured this will work because of your video.-Michael ( north Calif)

very informative video. Thank you for posting it. Answered all my questions. I'm going to give this a try.

Thank you! this was the most informative video I watched on the soaker hose.

Thank you so much. This video really helped. I wouldn't have known where to start.

Thank you for an excellent tutorial. Helped me finish my soaker hose lay out in my berm.

nice extensive and informative video... never thought to bury the hose, still trying to figure that out.

I have found that if you unroll it like it was on a spool it’s so much easier to work with. Your results may vary with the type of hose & temperature.

Thanks so much appreciate the detail. I never knew this hose had such flexibility, and your tips, make this a true watering system. Great job!!

Thanks! We’re just about to cut and place now. Very helpful video

Great video, very informative -- didn't miss a beat on answering all of my concerns.

I followed your instruction and worked very well thanks.

When you prep for the following year, mix in regular soil to your clay soil. Will soften it a bit and allow more moisture to spread since it won't be as dense

This was SO helpful!!!!

this was very helpful

5 stars! Fantastic video!

very detail review....thanks a lot...it really helped

Thank you for the video!

When you replaced the leaking coupling where the garden hose connects to the soaker hose, how did you get it apart? Does it easily slip out OR did you cut it off from the original coupling? Also, when stored away for the winter, I'm going to have to take it apart at the Ts. Will this go back together for the next season without leaks? BTW, this was an excellent video. Thanks for doing it and sharing your experience. We appreciate it!

Very informative. Great video. Thx

Thank you for such a good video.

Nicely done.. Very helpful

When you're watering the soil but not the plants 😂😂

nice review, helpful

If this valid for large farms

What size hose is it

is your system still holding up? I bought them but i am seeing people having leaks after a couple of months. I plan on burying mine and want to know if they will hold up to time?

Is your hose a 3/8th?

maybe it's also a good idea to use some cat litter (Bentonite clay) it holds on better to water and nutriments.. my garden is also mostly sand and the use of a soaker hose and bentonite has done miracles for me.. And it's cheap..:-)

Lol. It's not 25 bucks anymore. Thanks for the video. Either my instructions fell out or it didn't come with any

could you put together an update 1 year later... I just bought one and plan to install it this weekend.. .my one question would be if you got too much water between your rows in your walking area where you connected the T joints. I was going to connect it with an old hose

I am ready to install my hoses. How close do they need to be to the plants (tomatoes and peppers)?

OK, I installed my soaker hose in my 4 x 12 raised bed zig zagging 3ea. 15' rows ( total hose length, 46 ft.). Seeems to work OK except for the last 10 Ft. Less dripping than the front end. But my main question is long long do you run the water? I let it run for 30 mins and depth of moisture was about 6".

Still happy with the soaker hose? Any leakage?

Soaker hoses don't work with liquid limestone water.

great video...don't know it yall know this but miracle grow is owned by scotts which is owned by Monsanto group...I like your ideas here but will put my money in a company that's not scotts or monsanto

Not how u uncoiled... lol

can you just snake it instead thanks
