This Gilmour unique-construction flat weeper/soaker hose provides very efficient watering for your garden. It reduces evaporation and waste of water compared to using a conventional hose and sprinkler by slowly weeping through the whole length of the hose. Soaker hose is especially good for gentle, even watering of new plantings, shrubs, bushes, and raised garden beds. You can also hide it in your mulch and not worry about setting up sprinklers and underground irrigation systems. It is flexible and very easy to handle and should be used with low water pressure for the best performance. Backed by the Gilmour lifetime guarantee, this hose is a must-have for any gardening enthusiast.
With so many on offer these days, it is great to have a name you can trust. This item is certainly that and will be a perfect buy. The distributor have added some great touches and this equals great value.

Excellent soaker hose
This fabric-type of soaker hose seems superior to the rubberized ones that I've used in the past. Flow of water throughout the length of the hose is much more even than with the other types of soaker hoses, plus the hose is lighter and easier to lay out.

UPDATED AND DOWNGRADED REVIEW
My original review was a five star. I am dropping it to two and I will explain below.
The older Gilmour soaker hoses are excellent if you have one that was made before 2012 HANG ON TO IT AND DON'T LET IT GO.
THE HOSES THEY SELL NOW ARE NOT THE QUALITY ONES THEY SOLD ONLY A YEAR OR TWO AGO.
I own several of the older hoses. I needed two more. I ordered them and the new is not the same quality as the old. The old ones have two seams and are heavy duty. On the older ones if you had a kink in the line all you had to do was turn the water on and the hose would straighten itself out. Not so with the new ones. Once they are kinked they stay kinked. This is an issue with me because I run mine through cattle panels that I tie my tomato plants to. It's harder for me to get the kinks out in a system like this. It was not an issue with the older hoses.
The newer hoses do not water as evenly as the old. Oh they are still a good hose but not nearly as...
Like the quality of mercy, there's no straining with this soaker!
It does indeed droppeth like the gentle rain. Now I have to say upfront, I'm not really a gardener. I just have some planters on my patio with stuff in them that I generally kill just by looking at. Some nurseries don't even let me walk down the aisles anymore, I'm like Dutch Elm Disease on two legs. But this has helped make me somewhat less lethal. At least my tomato plant didn't try crawling over the patio railing to escape this year, which previous tomato plants have been known to try.
I don't know how the Glimmer weeper/soaker works in a garden, but for my patio boxes, it's the perfect solution. I'm about as lazy as a creature can be and still have a pulse, so anything that saves me work is a good thing, and this does just that. There are times when I love puttering around, schlepping with the watering can, picking dead leaves, poking into the soil and generally annoying the plants. But there are other days when I just don't want to bother.
I bought this...
