Depth

Leeaky Hose can be placed from 1 - 30cm below ground in heavy soils, but should not be placed below 15cm in coarse sands. Water will travel vertically above the hose (See 5.1.8) as long as it is charged for a sufficient period of time. Initially, conventional overhead watering may be needed to assist seedlings and lawns to become established.
