Hydrofarm Tubing

A lot of people are giving poor reviews because this item comes tightly wound. Which is true and when you try to unwind it; it's difficult to get it to bend the way you want. But if you pour hot water through it, the hose becomes much more malleable.

Too soft will crush when burried

For lawn sprinkling systems this probably is ideal tubing, so long as you stretch it out in the summer sun for an hour or so to get the curl out of the length. My mistake was I was going to use it as feed tube for my garden irrigation. It does work well in this scenario, but installing 1/4 dia drippers or 1/4 diameter tubing into it will be a large challenge. If not done with a clean puncture it will leak. Drilling a pilot hole will not work. Best method I came up with was a low volt soldering iron with 1/8 diameter tip. leaves a clean hole that will not leak but still hard to insert the drippers. I would consider a thinner wall tubing if buying for low pressure gardening.

I read a few reviews after ordering (I know ass backwards of me) which had me worried regarding hoses being delivered looking like sausage links that were kinked every 6 inches and hoses without the Hydrofarm branding on them. I have to say I did not have to deal with any such issues. In the entire 25' length of hose there is 1 kink; the rest of that hose was beautifully coiled inside a perfectly sized box. Would purchase again.
