Because of the lay flat design it's difficult to curve it around plant beds is there an easy way to do this?

Don't have a suggestion to help other than placing it further away and using a higher spray to reach the area you are trying to watee

I hate to answer a question with more questions ....but how shape a curve and what is your water pressure? You have hit on one of the "problems" with this hose. A sharp curve can cut off the flow...especially at low pressure. It's meant to be flat and straight. If you have good water pressure, it will work if you put it on its "side" and use a gentle curve. I've even used it with a sharp curve but it doesn't do as well.

It is only lay flat when empty. I use landscape 'staples' to guide the hose in the pattern I want. It fills up when water is turned on and stays in place. Place the hose with the water on. Here is a link to the staples: Easy Gardener 815 75-Count Fabric and Garden Staples

Not really. I use it just in a line in my flower bed. You might be able to a large curve and still have it flat.

Soak it in some water and lay it out in the sun for a while. When water is put into it it will swell up with no problem. I put mine around tomatoe plants and that's what I do. Also I've had problems with sand plugging it, so this year I'm going to put some grass mulch down before putting it in my garden.

Well, this soaker hose may not lay flat in trying to curve it around all the plants in a bed, but it works fine in any position.

Try letting it face into the beds around the corners and keep the water low. I've also just brought the hose straight down the middle of the beds between rows.

Measure across top of planter and get a round or square just smaller than planter dimensions and a bit shorter so that pot is completely hidden. I have round ones in my planters and the pot doesn't show once the plant material is added.

Hi Jeff, I like theses better then the roll up.They lay flat and will bend very easy to us after locking them in place push them down in the ground .I also use fence post as a boarder up against the fence on the inside.Hope this helps you out .Gregory

A lot will depend on each person. Lowered to it's lowest position would not allow me to bend forward to pull weeds but setting and leaning to the side may be doable. I do have short handled tools for that purpose. I am just very happy that I do not have to kneel or squat to tend to my beds. I have also found it very comfortable to paint my deck while setting on my Tractor Scoot keeping my gallon of paint in the bucket.

I would use at least two lengths, one for each row or a longer length to zig-zag down the bed past the bases of spaced plants.

Takes some maneuvering. It is basically round. You will need to have access to the space above to install correctly.

This planter is very attractive and could work the way you suggested. My installment is permanent because it really is too large to move around filled with material. I placed mine up on blocks to allow for drainage for live perennial plants.

That's my plan. Never tried shallow beds like this before, so I'm not really the one to ask.

I wouldn't try to use it without having something to there to run the rubber wheel along--i.e., at least some sort of brick or other edging between the flower bed and the grass. Without having an edging, try grass shears or one of those sharp things you sort of plunge in (I don't know what they're called).

They are meant to be used in a straight line. They are very stiff, so it would take a great deal of effort to curve them...

This particular cover is flat, It may have a little give, but I don't think it would safely bend to a curved shape without cracking. There are "raised" plate covers that may work better for you.

It's not completely adjustable. You can have the slanted position or make it flat.

actually you want them to go backwards that way they are tilted up while you drag them but you can reverse the chain and pull them from the other side.I didn't like this thing because you have to put on a lot of weight to make the rake go deeper.So I just tilled it.

it's not flat but they unravel quite easily since it's just on one side. just let gravity do the work.

Just my opinion, I think maybe getting some garden edging would be better to collect the leaves, or there is flex border material, like the recycled decking, that you could wrap around ground stakes, that may be better suited. This is a great raised bed, I bought two of them, but I am going to use them for vegetable gardening and make mini-greenhouses out of them, maybe do both projects !! :)take care

I placed in on a 4x8 raised carpeted platform with room to spare. It is slightly curved due to the wedge stlye

Pull the back forward as far as it will go and that will release the mechanism and allow it to lay flat again. It does not take much force at all so do not overpull.
