![]() but has no holes? I was thrilled when I found it at a yard sale for $1. It was on a reel; it looked like it'd never been used. Yeah! I could now water my garden efficiently. This naive Yankee transplant carefully laid it out around my plants and hooked up a hose then turned on the water. Nothing. I realize I could carefully poke a bazillion holes in it but should I? Uncapped, water comes out in 3 streams after traveling 25'. Factory mess up or does this have a specific purpose?

![]() It's obviously old. I guess I don't understand the purpose of reducing water flow so greatly; what comes out at the end is just 3 small streams. What am I missing?

![]() Good one. I can probably resell it for what I've got into it. I bought one of those old Rubbermaid dish racks for 50 cents. Hadn't clue what it was and neither did the seller. Looked it up and they're listed on e-bay for $25 to $35. (They may have only sold for 50 cents; who knows?)
Unless someone can tell me why not to do so, I'm seriously considering heating up an ice pick and making this a soaker hose. I need one of those; I don't need some silly flat hose without holes.
