Soaker Hoses<br />
After you invest your hard-earned cash in<br />
plants, count on an inexpensive solution <strong>to</strong><br />
help establish them in the landscape —<br />
soaker hoses. These hoses seep or leak<br />
water along their length, delivering it <strong>to</strong> the<br />
soil around plantings. Lay the hose on <strong>to</strong>p<br />
of the soil, or<br />
bury it slightly<br />
in soil or<br />
mulch.<br />

staple pins<br />
work great <strong>to</strong><br />
hold the hose<br />
in place. Use<br />
the soaker<br />
hose until the<br />
plant is<br />
established<br />
and showing<br />
new growth, then s<strong>to</strong>re the hose for future<br />
use.<br />
