Watering the hedge - with a drip hose or a soaking hose?

Which is better for watering the hedge: drip hose or soaking hose?

Is there a difference between a drip tube and a soaking tube?

Even if some manufacturers claim: The differences between drip hose and bead hose are marginal and practically nonexistent. Both variants are perforated garden hoses of any length that allow water to escape at certain intervals and thus water the hedge. The moisture only escapes in droplets or pearls, it is more or less “sweated out”. That is also the reason why these irrigation hoses are called "sweat hoses".

Irrigation hoses have many advantages

Irrigation hoses such as the drip and soaking hoses give off very little water at a time. This is beneficial to the hedge plants for several reasons:

Watering is gentle and very even
this is particularly advantageous for young plants that would suffer from a hard water jet
Water can be absorbed by the soil without loss (e.g. through evaporation)
slow watering prevents the soil from drying out
this in turn saves water as dry earth soaks up water like a sponge
Irrigation hoses are generally very economical in use
can be laid above and below ground (e.g. under a mulch cover)
also cope perfectly with low water pressure

Lay the pearl and drip hose correctly

Perl hoses and drip hoses can be laid very flexibly and can be adapted to any route. These irrigation hoses can also be laid underground, but in these cases they tend to get clogged - and thus no longer do their job. Above ground installation is therefore preferable, whereby you simply guide the hoses along where they are specifically needed. Also make sure not to exceed the maximum length given in the product description, otherwise the plants will die of thirst at the end of this very long pipe because nothing will simply reach you. Even with most models, a water pressure between 0.1 and 0.5 bar is necessary for the system to work, but these values can be achieved with most garden taps without any problems.
