An important utensil is the garden hose. Of all gardening tools, this is probably the one you need most often. That's why it usually lies around on the lawn in an untidy state, where it becomes a tripping hazard and if you're not careful, you can even damage it when mowing the lawn. But that doesn't have to be the case if you choose one of the following four tips.
-
- The Hose Trolley
The easiest and cheapest option is to work with a hose trolley. If necessary, the hose is unrolled, after pouring it can be rolled up again, like a cable drum.
-
- The hose box
A so-called hose box or hose drum is a great thing, but not exactly cheap. The hose is wound up just like the hose trolley and can be unrolled at any time. However, it has a fixed place and is equipped with an automatic return mechanism, which is known from the vacuum cleaner cable. One push of a button and the hose is wound up automatically.
-
- Pipe Holder
The hose can also be installed permanently. With the help of pipe holders on the paths or at the edge of the bed, it is always tidy and ready to hand.
-
- Garden hose underground
It is even more professional but also more expensive if you have the hose laid underground. This is certainly the most expensive way to store the garden hose, but then you have a completely invisible irrigation system.
There will definitely be an opportunity here that you can make friends with.
