Is that what you were referring to by "soaker" hoses?

Soaker hoses are not the same as drip lines. Soaker hoses are made of porous material that allows the water to seep out along the entire length of the hose. I use mine for a sidewalk strip of grass that would be difficult to water with sprinklers without watering the street and sidewalk. I wonder if anyone has considered burying soaker hoses in their grass areas. Water directly to the soil with no airborne evaporation.
