Wouldn't the soaker hose be a no-no in areas where water use is carefully monitored? |

you can water your lawn during certain times of day and days of the week. If you chose to water your lawn in such an unusual way, I suppose that's your lookout. _________________ A person's character is their destiny. |

The trick is to flow the water at such a rate that it never runs down the downspouts. If you use a soaker hose rather than the sprayer hose, it won't be as obvious, either. _________________ A government's principal occupation lies in curtailing and eliminating the natural freedoms of its citizens and then flimflamming them into paying for the service. ....Thorax |
