250metre roll of LeakyPipe LP12L porous rubber hose. This hedge watering pipe is specifically manufactured by us to carry water further and water at a low rate, working up to 100metres from the hose connection. Just lay on the soil, see it work, then cover with mulch or hoe into the topsoil. It will last for years. 

Ideal for watering in new hedge planting, ensuring rapid establishment and fast growing-on.  Also available as a kit with a range of hosesnap connectors, 'tees' and plugs. Click here for our range of Hedge Watering Kits. 

Generally the leaky pipe only needs to be placed on just one side of the planting, unless the plants are large (e.g. over 1m tall when planted) in which case we suggest a length of leaky pipe is laid on either side of the root ball.

Lay it near the plants - within 30-50cm as the water will spread laterally. The leaky pipe works by wicking water into the soil it contacts and therefore works best if hoed into the topsoil or covered by mulch.

The leak rate of this leaky pipe (LP12L) will allow watering for 100m from a typical domestic water source. You can water through several lengths of leaky pipe at once (each max 100m long) and a typical water source will generally water up to 500m cumulative length of this leaky pipe

Technical information: Leak rate of 0.75 - 1.5L water per linear meter per hour at 1-2 Bar.
