Do you adjust the pressure at the fauct so that it drip's or just go wide open with a hard stream?I bought a soaker hose today gonna run it down 1 of my row's but like the look's of the pvc deal but would rather have a drip or a low pressure stream.

I let mine come out in a stream but I'm guess with smaller holes and low pressure it could be made to drip. You would need to adjust the pressure so that water comes out all the way down the pipe.

I was just worried that the stream might be to hard on the plant or make the ground wash,but I'm probley thinking too much.Gonna git me some pipe tommorow and try it.

I have close to 100 tomato plants. They need staking. After that I'll til the middles. Then lay down soaker hose next to the plants cover with newspaper and mulch. But somewhere in there I'll bury a 2 liter drink bottle by the plants for natures water and fertilizer. The rest of the garden looks good except where the deer have been.
Anyone want a deer in the dark of night without a shot, city limits rules.

Got some good lookin mater plants going, have several big as golf balls, ark travelers. Squash, hot peppers and okra, might to put in some snap beans. My wife has had to do it all,she has done real good.
