PIPE AND HOSE ACCESSORIES -> Drip - Weeping Hose
Weeping Hose for Rain Barrels
Regular drip irrigation hose requires a minimum of 2 PSI to fuction. NOT this drip hose! It is designed for NO pressure systems like gravity fed rain barrels.
- Tiny perforations allow water out via a sweating action
- More porous then standard drip irrigation hose
- Flexible black weeping hose
- Available in 100 foot prepackaged
Choose this alternative method of irrigating your plants without sprinklers. Lay this weeper hose just below the mulch layer.
As the name suggests, the water seeps (or weeps) from the pores of this hose and waters
directly at the root level when buried. No burnt leaves from overhead watering, no
wasted water going on patios and driveways, less water lost to evaporation.
For new seedlings lay the hose along the seedling line and don't double the hose
back. For larger, more mature plants you may want to coil it around the base of the plant.
A lot of plants need an average of 1 inch of water per week. So how do
you tell how much water your plants are getting from your weeping hose? Here
is a simple experiment you can perform. Get a tuna fish can (clean, empty, ready
to be recycled) and connect your weeper hose to a full rain barrel. Stretch out
the weeper hose and place the tuna can anywhere along the length of the weeper
hose. Open water valve and note the time. Check back often to review the filling
of the tuna can. Once the tuna can is filled (about one inch in depth) you now
have a good idea as to how long it takes to accomplish your goal of placing one
inch of rain water at the roots of your plants from your full rain barrel.
