Gardener's Supply Company Snip-n-Drip Irrigation Kit | Outdoor Customizable Self-Watering Sprinkler Soaker Hose System | Supplys 4 25 Foot Garden Rows

While other soaker kits are available, I feel this one is unique in it's completeness and unique parts. First is the Y-splitter. Beats the typical T connectors and allows for a more natural path for hose (at least for me). You get 3 of these. You also get a garden hose quick disconnect, a hose joiner, and a pressure regulator. The regulator is absolutely need for soaker hose or it's life will be short lived. Even so, I'd just budget for new soaker hose every year because they get clogged up or spring leaks. That's just the nature of the soaker hose. Lucky for me, the 100 ft of soaker hose in this kit will last me three years.CONS: The garden hose is 25ft of 1/2". That is small diameter hose so I would keep this as short as possible. Do not use it to transport water at the site. I use the pressure regulator just before the kit setup and a long stretch of my own garden hose leading up to it at normal house water pressure. I also noticed that the Y-pieces have 3 quick disconnect pieces. I actually don't like this as each has an O-ring to stop leaks. I'd rather have the hose compression fittings on a rigid Y-splitter.Bottom line: a good kit at a reasonable price. I am using it for two raised beds and it is perfect for that purpose. All parts except for the hose joiner are used.

What's not to like? With a knife to cut the hoses you've got all you need to water a decent sized garden.I have three 8' long beds and it took me all of 15 minutes total to lay the hose, put on the connectors and hook it up to the faucet. I barely read the directions it was so easy. It was funny to be standing there waiting for a problem to fix but everything worked as it should right out of the box.Like others have suggested, expose the hose to sunlight on a warm day for a couple hours so it'll relax and you can straighten it. I also used stakes (https://smile.amazon.com/gp/product/B06VTHRNSK) to hold it in place.I have noticed that the first run of weeping hose has the most water coming out, the second a bit less, and the last one pretty slow. Fortunately my plants are arranged in such a way that it doesn't matter much. And I just leave it on for a while longer to make sure that area gets watered.I haven't seen how it survives the winter and next summer. I read at least one review that said the material broke down fast. We'll see, I guess.**EDIT** This is now my second season using the kit. The first year the weeper hose was just sitting out in the sun. I brought it in to the garage during the winter and brought it back out for the spring. When I hooked it up this year (the 2nd year) there were a lot of spots where water was squirting not weeping. No real worries because I just covered it with the mulch and that contains the water. I'm going to buy some more weeping hose for next year. Everything else seems just fine!A+ Would recommend.Pros: Easy to put together, plenty of hose for my purposes, and no leaks.Cons: A little uneven watering (more at the beginning and less near the end of the hose). Also, the soaker hose is affected by the weather and can break down, so be prepared to buy more.

this set seemed like a good idea. in fact, i doubled down because 1 set wouldn't do for my 25'x30' garden. but i've had many, many problems with it in the form of many, many leaks of various sorts. but generally on just 1 set, the other worked nominally well. some leaks were just little spritzers. some were full on gushers. in attempting to fix some of my leaks towards the end of the run i cut the length at the leak and moved the plug. well for me the plug worked great the first time but didn't stay put the second time causing a bit of flooding. the rest of the time i just fixed said spritzers/gushers with inline connectors which turned out to be about 3 packs worth. it would have done less stars if it weren't for their customer service. i sent them a rather lengthy email about the successes and failings i had with the one system i bought and lamented how much it would cost to replace the 100' of hose that seemed to be largely faulty. so they sent me a box of 100' of new soaker hose to try to replace the prone to leaking stuff. and it does seem that these systems work about half the time. the north side system had 95% of the problems where the south side only had 2 leaks. and god knows this system was about as easy as it gets to set up. literally snip and drip. i will just add this caution because this may work for some people. i figure most of my problems possibly came from stepping on the hose since the leaks mostly seemed to be on or near walking paths. if you have it arranged as they picture going down raised beds where you won't be stepping. i have other snip-n-drip hoses that are doing just fine in other sections of the yard, just the garden one seemed to be problematic. so if you are planning to use this in raised beds and can avoid stepping on it, try it out. regular old in the ground garden, not so much. look elsewhere. but good customer service though.

I don't often write reviews for things, but this might make an exception. We just got this installed in our garden and I can't begin to explain how simple this was. We've got 8 garden beds at 4'x10' and before this system, we were just running a plain ol' soaker hose of 75' to two beds at a time. And this was fine, except you end up getting a bunch of overhang where you're watering a bunch of stuff between beds and it's basically a tripping hazard between beds.Now with this system, man... you just cut the length of soaker hose you need and connect it using the connectors and then you're done. The connectors are the sweetest part of this, they super easy to use. Just shove it in and tighten the connector and done. I kept telling my wife last night while were were putting this together "I really like this system! It's so easy!" And thus I've come to tell you all the same thing.Heck, you don't even need to put this in rows, you can just make it work for whatever your garden set up us. No wasted water. Plus the materials are great quality.It's an easy buy.
