Though different, they do the same work. The main difference between them is that a soaker hose is a porous garden hose. Simply put, a long tubing that has tiny porous holes all along the entire length of the hose. Laid between plants or rows of plants. On the other hand, drip irrigation is a system that utilizes poly tubing to which is attached smaller emitter tubes or tubing.
These tubes channel water from the long poly tubing onto the base of the plant. These two systems are similar in their working but have different uses and merits. They both allow you, the gardener, to put water at the base of the plants. There are advantages to watering near the plant's base as compared to sprinkling water from above.

Drip irrigation is a type of a micro-irrigation system that allows you to save water and nutrients, because of the slow release of the water/nutrients to the roots of your plants, whether you are watering from above or below the surface of the soil. Ideally, you want the water to penetrate the soil directly into the root zone and minimize evaporation.
Soaker Hose offers the perfect delivery of water to plants: slowly, steady release at the soil line. This ensures that water is not wasted. The slow release allows the soil around plant roots to gradually absorb the water. And the proximity of the hose to soil means that very little if any is lost to evaporation.
Water in lengths up to 15'. However, it is acceptable to feed water from solid pipe into a 1/4 tee then branch into two 15' runs or form a circle with a 30' circumference. Items required for installation. Soaker Hose Pressure Regulator is a MUST, since soaker hose is designed to work at low pressure.
