Problem with soaker hose

16 years ago

Desperate for some help on this. I've got regular 1/2 poly tubing that I'm using to water raised beds. I've connected 1/4 soaker tubing to it for certain areas. The problem is that where the soaker tubing starts it gushes water, not at the connection but overall for the first 2 feet of soaker tubing. Connection is fine to be clear, the excess water is coming out evenly over the first 2 feet of tubing, after that(further down the line) it's coming out at a normal drip rate. I tried replacing the first two feet but still have the same problem.

Any ideas?

Thanks,

J
