holey hose

this is the first split in the buried soaker hose that i had to repair


the section i cut out. i didnt get all of the split and had to cut a second piece.


the hose mender


the repair was complicated by how close to the root of of the plants i had to dig the hole.


this was my sign that there was something wrong with the hose


the water really sprayed out!


the hole, the plant root, and the split section
