seep hoses.....

ok, so.....i finally engaged my spouse in the seep-hose problem.....the problem being that they did not seem to seep......he was able to repair several large gashes, and ultimately discovered that water did not flow well due to small blue disks inside the ends of each segment that narrowed the available circumference from 1 inch down to less than 1/8th inch.....no wonder the water wouldn't flow past the first hose....we have been able to get decent water flow all the way to the end of the hose....and now it is clear that i need to dig up all of the hose and lay the hose in concentric circles to maximize the coverage......luckily i have a few extra rolls of the hose in the garage....
