How to fix flat soaker hose leakage?

I don’t have sprinklers installed and it’s quite expensive to get them installed. Currently I am using soaker hoses to water my lawn and it’s going great. I move them when I need to mow and then lay it flat again on the ground. 

Now recently I saw a leak in it. Is it possible some how to fix it rather buying a new one everytime.

 

Soaker Hose is similar to this one:

Can you please explain what is SD and MD?


What sprinklers and pipes to buy for long lasting system?

 

I took professional installation quote about a year ago and it was around $3500. That’s quite a lot for me and I am happy to try DIY myself.

Re: How to fix flat soaker hose leakage?

SD would be half circle, and MD would be quarter circle popups @pc007. Utilising the myGardena planner will provide a clearer detail of the items used. Since you are planning on doing this system yourself I'd suggest you use it as a resource.

 

Typically you would run at least a 19mm poly pipe or you might consider a 25mm pipe for better flow.
