How Far Apart Do Soakers Need To Be Placed To Be Effective?

In a world that has devolved into something so simple that it's terminally boring: a 24-hour stream of inane, irrational, moronic and, sometimes, tactically coy assertions, mostly lies, coupled and intermingled artfully, tit for tat, with policy statements clearly concocted by the Heritage Foundation, my mind wanders to important questions.

I thank Bill Gates for Copilot.

Copilot always has the answer.

To the important questions that we all have these days.

This morning I hear that donnie is shutting down Harvard, and most of the US' top Universities - including University of Pennsylvania where donnie's father paid a guy to get donnie's degree for him (probably a good reason to shut it down).

I have heard, but can't verify, that unless Harvard erects puts up a solid gold statue of donnie in Harvard yard, Kristie Nome gets to shoot down Harvard's President in the yard; one wonders how that is going to help donnie in his mad pursuit of the Nobel Peace Prize.

Ho Hum.

Here is today's question of importance.

Noel: On a soaker sprinkler installation, how close to the seeds or plants does the soaker hose need to be to be effective?

Copilot: Great question! The placement of a soaker hose depends on the type of plants and soil composition. Generally, for annual plants, the hose should be 12-18 inches apart to ensure proper moisture distribution. For perennial beds, spacing can be a bit wider, around 18-24 inches apart.

If you're working with raised beds, a common setup is running a single soaker hose down the center of a 3-foot-wide bed, but if you have multiple rows, spacing the hoses about 18 inches apart can help ensure even watering. Soil type also plays a role—denser soils may require closer spacing to allow water to penetrate effectively.

Would you like tips on optimizing water efficiency or setting up an automatic timer for your system? 

No, thank you.

I'm going to go lie down in the freeway.
