I need 800' of soaker hose

That's what the CEO* wants now for her garden. Who has had good results with soaker hoses, and which type did you settle on? Thank you.

I don't own one, but does CEO want a soaker or a sprayer hose?

Just making sure you know the difference, I'm sure you do.

Soaker. We have hard water, and the sprayer type plugs up too easily.

I looked last year and Target beat all the prices I checked: Harbor Freight, Tractor Supply, Home Depot etc. But things change. 100 foot was maybe 15$?
Since you're in Texas I'm pretty sure you mean soaker. No point in paying to evaporate. .

We boycott Target. They don't even sell ammo. But that's a useful data point, thank you.

lol, I can think of a few reasons I'd boycott Target, but that's not one of them

What diameter do you want?

Not sure if you're going to find 800' in one roll...here is 500' of 1/4", that is if you're not boycotting Amazon for not selling ammo too

Ammozone.com doesn't sell ammo? I'm going to have to return my Kindling.

Edit: oh, that's an actual website. it was supposed to sound like Amazon and Kindle.

Admin gets its panties in a knot if we talk politics. I think y'all know the real reason.

Tanks for the Bezos link. It's a last resort. You know what he does with his profits ....

Crikey, it's 800' overall, guess I walked into that one. 50' by 50' garden, numerous rows.

You might consider using "drip tape" it comes with built in emitters it's a low pressure low flow rate product. You can get it with different spacing between emitters like 4", 6", 8", 12". You would need a pressure reducer but they aren't hard to get the maximum pressure is 10 to 12 psi anything higher will damage the drip tape.
You can google it and see exactly what it is and where to get some from I would recommend looking several places as prices vary a lot. It comes in lots of different lengths as well. You would need to water longer because of the lower gpm or gph but it does allow for watering right at the plant without wetting the leaves of the plant.
There is also another product called "drip tube" as well it is higher priced but it does last longer. It is poly pipe with the built in emitters with different spacings available. This will work at higher pressure and won't require a pressure reducer.
I actually use some of both depending on what I'm using it for.
