Last year my soaker hose finally went to soaker hose heaven. Really that hose lasted for about 15 years for us so I think I got my monies worth. Towards the later half of last summer here in Texas you could not find a soaker hose anywhere. Everyone was buying them up trying to save money watering especially since most of my area was under watering restrictions. Almost as an impulse buy I grabbed one at the store yesterday. I have wanted to get another one for a while so I guess it wasn't that much of an impulse buy. Anyway, I bought this hose at Walmart. It is called Element SoakerPro by Colorite Plastics Company. Made right here in the Good Ole USA in New Jersey. Their website is

Today I hooked it up and
I love it. It works really good with the water making it all the way to the end of the hose. That is a problem that I had with my other soaker hose. My old hose wasn't as long as this 50 feet beauty. It definitely goes a long way. It says that you can put 3 of the hoses together for really large areas. I will probably buy another one before we really have to start watering here so I will update later and give feedback on how well it works with 2 of them hooked up together.
