1. Does the irrigation hose provided with item run the length of EACH planter tray? 2. Is the irrigation hose SOLID or PREFORATED?

1. It's a single length of hose that you zig-zag through the soil as you add it. 2. It's a narrow diameter black soaker hose.

I do not have the unit here but I believe it is a 4 inch -- it is flex pipe made of pvc -- unit works well and there have been no water drainage issues

It comes with a hose but only a little 3 ft one. I just use it to fill up watering cans and buckets

Drainage is not a problem with these planters the dried moss that lines the basket allows plenty of water to seep out - its not solid at all

I cannot tell you the exact ammount. I can tell you I purchased a large bag of potting soil and I was able to fill two planters with soil left over. I hope this is helpful.

The planter is 24" long (mine actually measures closer to 23"). There are two slots built into the bottom of the planter to accommodate two different size railings. The smaller one fits a 3 1/2" to 4" rail. When filled with dirt, the weight of the planter balances and secures it to the railing. We did not secure our planters with screws through the bottom (optional). I'm not sure even if securing the planter with screws or nails that it would be secure on a railing less than 3" wide. On the positive, we really like these planters. The quality exceeded our expectations, and we plan to buy 4 more. The planter is 24" long (mine actually measures closer to 23").

There wasn't an actual hose included with the one I purchased. It does have a standard garden hose outlet, so I bought a cheap 25 foot hose and and ran it over the sump pit. It runs all year and has never given us a problem.

it is a resin material - sturdy/solid - I recommend going to Lowe's and buying a 14" square planter insetert and putting it over the opening so you are not filling up the entire planter with dirt which would be impossible to mauver and drain. Also, I drilled several holes in the bottom of this unit and in the planter insert from Lowe's so that water would eaisily drain. Good luck

There are holes in mine. Also, the tray doesn't really collect water because the water drains from around the tray due to the way it's constructed. However, it you have a heavy rain, and particularly if it's blowing, then that little roof isn't enough to keep the seed dry.

The unit itself is just under a foot, and the hoses are about 4 ft long. So reaches just under 5ft. I had to buy longer hoses as my tank with stand is 6ft, but you can buy them at a hardware store in the irrigation area for not much.

The perforations (holes) are by design. The shaved areas are also by design. Each hole is expected to drip or leak water. The volume of water discharged depends on the water pressure. I have several hundred feet of this and really love the hose. The problem I encounter is the fittings slip off and allow HUGE water leaks. I suggest you use hose clamps to securely mount the hose to the fittings

The tubing that siphons the reservoir water to the spike is about 30 inches long. I would say you can set the water source a maximum of 18-24 inches below the rim of the planter.

I used "Raindrip 052010P 1/2-Inch-by-100-Foot Poly Hose" to run lines around my garden. It worked great, and i couldn't beat the price of 10 bucks. Pex would probably last alot longer though if I was more certain of the long term lay out.

The little feet are 1" or 1 1/4", I could not get a more accurate measurement, the tray is always full of drying dishes. The good news is there are 3 not 4 feet, tipping it slightly which forces the water to the drain. That really is the reason it works well. It is a great clean cut drip tray and I could not praise it more highly. Many of my family and friends bought one after I told them it was the best.

Relaxed length 30 inches, stretched length 10 feet, 1 1/4 inch hose, ,3 attachments, works great

Not sure if this is going to answer you, but the hose I connect to the unit is just a standard garden hose connector, like you would screw into an outside spigot. The actual hose I use is about 8 feet long. Is that what you ment by discharge connector?

It depends on your set-up. The key with this product is that the flow rate is very low, ~ 1/2 gallon an hour. Depending on your soil and evaporation I run each circuit for about 5hrs to water to a depth of 6" once a week. Depending on how thirsty you plants are, I'd guess 18" to 24" apart would give your plants enough water. For some plants I just run a straight run, on others weave in and out. Next year I plan to run the hose below the weed mesh, with some mulch to retain moisture better. Hope this helps.
