I also use soaker hoses in my garden.  Love 'em.  I also use cut bent wire 
hangers to anchor them in place  -- I call them Crawford Clips.  :) --,  and 
put mulch on top of the whole bed.   

They are also easy to repair either with a half plastic hose couplings if 
torn,  or a dab of silicon caulk for punctures.   Just mark the spot and let 
dry,  then apply.
