When is the best time to run a soaker hose? In the day to keep the sun from completely drying out the soil, or during the night to make it so wet that the sun doesn’t dry it out so much?

I have two beds with shrubs, evergreens, boxwoods, junipers, etc, and want to be sure I am watering properly. I have the soaker house and want to see how long I should be running it, I also use the regular hose to water a bit too. Any help or suggestions will be appreciated Thanks

I just bought a house and it has a soaker hose for maintaining soil moisture around and beneath the foundation. During a dry spell, how many times a day and/or how many hours per day should I turn it on?

I’m in the process of patching a 8 sq.ft. bare spot on my lawn, and was advised to use a soaker hose for irrigation. Do I lay the soaker hose directly on top of the area? And how long should I let it run?

I dug a trench and lined the walls of the trench with a 75′ soaker hose. This is so that when I water, i don’t get water on the petals and so that only the roots get water. I’ve always been told that you shouldn’t water when the sun is out because when the sun heats up the water on the petals, it can and will burn them.

That being said, could I turn on the soaker hoses during the day and not burn my flowers? I mean, only the roots get the water so it makes sense right?. Would the water the eventually puddles around the flowers heat up and burn the roots or would that not happen? Thanks in advance for your answers.

I am planning my garden watering system, found there are two type of soaker hoses in store: flat or regular, do anybody know which one is better? Thank you.

I don’t have any experience with soaker hoses and am wondering if they need more pressure than the rain barrel can offer. The barrel is about 40′ from the garden and only about 2′ higher, so it’s not that much of a pitch. Does anybody have any experience with this? Should I still invest in the soaker hose?

I bought some soaker hoses and now am not sure if that is the same as a "drip" hose. Also should I snake it around the plants like a sound wave shape or just straight through?

We have rosebushes around a flag pole & we measured the area to be 13′. I know rose bushes need at least a 1x per week deep soak(1 or more hours???). It’d be nice to have a soaker hose that fits than to have to stand there for an hour or more or even sit there & burn up. Thanks!!
