Tips for successful soaker layout
• Soaker tubing run on level
ground provides the most even
water distribution.
• Lay soaker straight, loop
around plants, or wind through
closely planted areas.
Soaker tubing waters slowly, providing deep root
watering and helping eliminate waste and runoff.
For best results, water between 1/2 hour (6-8” root
depth) and 4 hours (5’ root depth).
