When you buy your new hose, you can re-purpose the old one into a soaker hose by poking holes in it. If it has a white line down the hose (like many old cheap hoses do), punch holes along that stripe. Doing so can assure you of having all of your holes on the same "side" of the hose. All the holes will face in one direction or upside down, instead of having some holes emitting water straight to the ground, others spraying one way, while even others shoot a stream in the opposite direction.
