Keep Your Lawn & Gardens Healthy & Vibrant with the Right Garden Hose

A good garden hose is essential for irrigating your lawn and gardens. PVC garden hoses are lightweight and easy to move around with but can be more prone to kinking. Rubber garden hoses are heavier but are less likely to kink, and a quick tug will usually straighten out a tangle. Soaker hoses feature tiny pores that weep water directly onto the soil and plant root system. This system helps to inhibit disease as the plant leaves remain dry and uses much less water than a conventional sprinkler. You can also find eco-friendly hoses that are lead- and phthalate-free to ensure these chemicals don’t enter your water supply. If storage space is limited consider an expandable garden hose which expands with water flow and contracts to a small size when not in use. Heavy-duty garden hoses with crush-proof couplings are ideal for farms and rural properties.

A garden hose reel or hose reel cart will help prevent tangles and keep your yard more organized. Hose reel with hose packages are also available with 50-ft garden hoses and 100-ft garden hoses. A retractable hose reel eliminates the hassle of winding and unwinding the water hose. For the ultimate in convenience go with a self-cranking automatic garden hose reel.
