Rain hose works well with crops that thrive under sprinkler irrigation. Examples are; onion, garlic, cabbage, traditional vegetables, leafy vegetables and others. Crops that are susceptible to fungal infections if the leaves remain wet for long are irrigated with drip. Examples are; green beans, potato, strawberry, tomato, capsicums, peppers and others
