I really enjoy my soaker hoses. It’s nice to turn them on and water the entire plot while I weed, or soon harvest! But every year some hoses crack and get brittle from being in the sun so long. I used to buy repair fittings but they were expensive and time consuming.
Here’s what I do now, and other gardeners may also want to try. I cut the hose at the point of the crack. I slide in this $0.79 coupling from Ace.
Usually it stays in place by itself. If not, I simply put a zip tie on either side. These cost pennies.
