How wide a swath does this water? I have a 22" wide raised bed garden. Would a single one be sufficient for such an area?

Well, the longer one leaves the water on and running through the soaker hose, the more the water will soak in and spread out over a ground area. I have the hoses on a long blueberry bed about 2 feet wide and I think the water gets generously to the roots with the hose positioned in a line rolled out near each plant.

yes, if the soaker hose is centered in the 22 in width. it soaks into the ground. It does a nice job and mine have lasted 2 years so far.

I have not tried mine yet. However sources on the web will tell you how far a hose strand will water. I have dense but porous soil and spaced my loops about 15" - 18" apart. I suspect that in a raised bed filled with loamy soil you would need them closer, so maybe 2 lengthwise strands would be more than adequate. Please check the web for instructions on spacing.

If you only used 1 weeper hose, you would probably have to let it weep overnight. The weep path is not very wide and when you turn up the water pressure to make a wider path a "hole" blows out the hose and most of your water goes in one place. I actually purchased 5 of these hoses last year and have now switched to the green Andrews soaker hoses. you can use these right side up for about a 5 ft coverage or hose facing down (so it doesn't get water on the leaves, flowers, veggies, etc) Facing down it takes approx 4 hours to thoroughly soak a 22 inch area. I have had very good luck with the old fashioned green soaker hose made by Andrews. Amazon carries them at a very reasonable price.

Yes. Remember this is a "soaker" not a "sprinkler". Lay soker down the middle with low water pressure[water flow]

The gardena has two knobs that adjust the water jets, they that can be adjusted to make a wide or narrow "rain" outcome, the length that the water eaches alsoa can be easily adjuste. you may get beeter results if you install a sort of small watrt pump to raise the pressure until 18 psi, mine gardena works perfect anafter several trial I found the settings I nned to watering my garden. hope this answer be useful Eddie

The amount of water delivered depends on your water pressure, the diameter of your hose and how large the circle is.It is the best sprinkler I have ever owned because of its versatility - but that has nothing to do with your question about water volume.

I don't think this will work. You may be able to get a larger lawn and garden spayer. You may want to try a supersoaker squirt gun. Otherwise a pressure washer.

Ours is very full this morning due to rain last night, maybe 1/4 inch from overflowing. The water measures 1.5 " right now. We agree with Ed that this unit works well, and has never frozen. It is plenty deep for the backyard birds to bathe and they share it nicely. I also find it easy to keep clean with a little elbow grease.

I have a 700 gal oval Pond, 33 inches deep, no waterfall, not sure if type I have would be enough. Love the one I have , keeps water crystal clear, if treated correctly I would look into filter depending on depth, and gallons you stated

Make certain all your settings are correct. Each zone must be completely set. I set one side for 1 a day. The other I leave off so I can use it when needed for hand watering. I can go away for a week or two and it waters my hanging baskets everyday. I love it. It does take a little getting used to.

I can't see how it would work as a waterer. It would only hold a little cause it would overflow. Now that winter is over, a plain old bucket would be better.

Hi, This system is designed for only low flow as it says in the item description like veg garden for best results only for shorter distance. I got it for my garden to attach one of the sprinkler head so that my garden gets water. I guess you need one step higher may be.

I'm sorry - I can't help you. I live in Florida. I do like it though. I am using it as a water source for my beehive.

No, our water has good pressure and steady stream. I never have any problem of water flying anywhere but in the basin. I use this in my office, and it has been working great so far.

I just used a handheld spreader. It throws about a 6' wide swath which was more that wide enough to cover my flower beds, which is where I used it.

It should work fine on a small garden. I only use it inside my house, garage, and enclosed back porch because it rains a lot here, and the rain will wash away the application. Since you water a garden, you may have to use a lot of the product quite often.

Yes. You adjust each side as to how wide you want to spray. Then you adjust how far you want it to spray. I use this in between my to raised beds to water my garden, however I have also used it to water my very long and narrow side yard

I had my tomato plants about 30 inches apart and there was no water meeting in the middle. Each emitter made a water edge about 98" across. The emitters water deep. I have clay soil so I expected a lot of surface water, but it all soaked in and did a great job. We also bought a timer and some extra parts. This set probably isn't all you'll need.

I sold mine. I was using it for a water basin for my monitor lizard. It is pretty large at about 16 inches across and maybe 20 inches long. It is very sturdy as well.

trying to figure out if this would hold enough water or do I need one with a tank?
