The Fiskars drip hose is the ideal tool for new plantings, shrubs, and raised beds, delivering water directly to the roots while keeping the leaves dry. This direct watering method also reduces water consumption by up to 70%. Simply lay the hose down and secure it to the ground with the included metal hose clamps. You can place the hose on the ground or bury it in the soil. If the hose length is too long for your garden bed, you can easily cut it with regular scissors. The length of the water hose can be restored with any 13-15 mm hose repairer.
