Porous Pipe Soaker Hose 12.5mm

Description

A smarter, quieter way to water. The Porous Pipe Soaker Hose delivers water slowly and directly to the root zone — seeping gently along its entire length rather than spraying overhead — so less is lost to evaporation and more reaches the plants that need it. Available in two lengths to suit different garden sizes and setups: a 30m length supplied complete with tap connector for a straightforward, ready-to-use installation, and a 50m unfitted length for larger plots, bespoke layouts, and those who prefer to connect into their own system.

Water where it matters most — slowly, steadily, and without waste.

50m  Unfitted — For larger plots, allotments, and more complex layouts that require cutting, joining, and configuring to your own specification. Connect into your existing system with your choice of fittings, or divide across multiple zones for a fully bespoke irrigation setup.

Best for

What makes this product special
Having two length options in the same hose means there’s a practical solution for almost any garden, from a compact raised bed setup to a full allotment plot. The 30m fitted version removes any installation guesswork; the 50m unfitted version gives full flexibility to those who want to design their layout their own way. Either way, the result is the same — water delivered slowly, at root level, exactly where the plants need it, with minimal waste and minimal effort once it’s in place.

Caragh’s Garden Notebook
If you’re still hand-watering through summer, a soaker hose will quietly change your routine. Lay it in gentle curves between your rows or along your borders, run it for 30 to 45 minutes, and the water goes in slowly enough for the soil to absorb it properly. Cover it with a layer of mulch and you’ll lose almost nothing to evaporation. The 30m with connector is the easiest starting point — connect it to the tap, run it through your beds, and you’re done. If your plot is larger or your layout more complex, the 50m unfitted gives you everything you need to build something a little more considered. Pair either one with a simple tap timer and you can take the daily watering decision completely off your plate.
