Title: Soaker hose problem.
Post by: Kleftiwallah on May 14, 2022, 14:59

Good afternoon evryone,

I have a soaker hose problem, the hose is curly but my crops are in lines!  Does anyone know of a method of straightening soaker hose so I can run lengths alonside the crops (sweetcorn & beans)?   I have thought about plunging it into boiling water and holding it until it cools or insert some form of wire inside.

Looking forward to your thoughts.   Cheers,  Tony.

I just coax it roughly where I want it to go, and peg it along the row.

Hello we use to have a piece of board a foot long with 4 nails in the top that the soaker hose say between and a 6 inch nail  in each corner to fix it down   jezza
