Hi, Ben from Swan Products. Let's install our easy connect customizable soaker system. Lay out your hose in the sun to warm it up. It makes installation much easier. When the hose is warm, weave it around your plants, keeping it close to the base to soak the root zone. Next, cut the hose and attach your feeder or female connector for your water supply. Cut the ends to length and attach the male connector with the cap to seal the end, and repeat if you have another open end. Turn the water on full and inspect your lines. To maximize water conservation, cover with dirt or mulch.
