I have a metal 100 foot one, for $50, it is also not very heavy, but as you say you have a lot of curves. Mine gets hung up on things that stick up higher or around a curve, that is my only problem. But I do have one of the retractable hoses in my front yard. It is always what each like to use.
That is a great way to describe it! Now I see in the forecast we are supposed to be in the low 90s this week! I would like some rain to go with it. lol.
My Mother-in Law had purchased one, not this brand, and it didn't make through one Florida summer before the UV rays did-in the nylon or whatever the the sleeve was made of. Not sure what brand it was, but I think it was one of those "As seen on TV" products. Since then I haven't looked at them much, even as my back gets worse with age. My wife picked up one last month, though, for her own personal use. If it makes it to next July, I might reconsider.
Mine has made it now from early spring and is still going strong. I hear you about the aging part ... a very light and easily maneuverable hose is what I need. So, I guess if I have to replace it every year (which I don't want to do), I will probably do it because of the ease of use. I'm currently on my third one in three years, so I will have to report on how this slightly more expensive one and better constructed one will fair. Time will tell.
I have a 50 ft retractable hose on my lanai to water my plants there. Sometimes I drag it through the door to do closer outdoor plants and to clean and full the bird baths. I love the hose. My sister got it for me for Christmas. But it is kept inside the covered lanai. I always assumed the fabric would rot in the sun so never bothered to get one for outside. And you didn't elaborate on how your previous two hoses broke? What part of it broke? It certainly is easier to handle for this retiree, too. Thanks for posting this.
That is perfect - you having it on your covered lanai! Mine is just out under my tree. It isn't ever in the direct sun, but it does get rained on and it is in the high heat. Both of my prior hoses punctured after a year. I am more careful though with this one because I want it to last!
I felt that same way too. I watched how to do it from Hortube (Jim Putnam's UA-cam channel). He explained it very well and we did it over a whole summer. We would work in the garden installing drip irrigation one morning each weekend. That way it wasn't so overwhelming for us. And ours is pretty simple, as we just use our garden water faucets with garden watering timers on each water hose.
Yesterday, I saw 3 different hummers. I noticed my cardinal climbers and David Verity Cuphea aren't blooming due to the heat. Do you think I should fertilize? My porterweed and bat faced cuphea which only get morning sun are blooming and the hummers do go there and I have a feeder close by. I can see this as I sit on the couch. This morning I put out two more hummingbird feeders. (Northwest Houston).
Awesome on your hummers!!! 😍 Cardinal Climber doesn't start really blooming for me until the beginning of September, and by the middle and end of September, I have lots of blooms. My David Verity Cuphea isn't blooming well right now either. I am getting ready to fertilize my containers with an organic fertilizer to "boost" them now that we aren't in the 100 degrees.
Good morning! I didn't provide a product link because there are so many expandable water hoses on the market. Amazon has 100 ft. ones (3/4 inch) for about $45. I purchased mine at Home Depot this year, but when I went on their website to look just now, they are more expensive than what I paid for mine. Mine is this one: www.homedepot.com/p/Hydrotech-5-8-in-Dia-x-100-ft-Burst-Proof-Expandable-Garden-Water-Hose-8991/319836537 ... but I didn't pay that price in the very early spring. My neighbor has multiple of these types of expandable hoses (all different lengths) and really likes the ease of use. I lugged around a regular water hose for awhile, but now really appreciate this type for hand watering.
Hi Chrystal. First of all I am not sure if I spelled your name correctly 😊 I do have a retractable water hose. I got one after wacthing one of your videos talking about it last year, I believe. I bought mine at Ollie's at the beginning of this year. I really like using this lightweight water hose. I plan yo get the 100 hundred feet hose sometime this year to connect with the 50 feet hose I already have, if it last through the summer. I don't have drip irrigation I use a water hose to water the flower beds. I do have 2 drip hoses in the hydrenga bed. How long do you think I need to leave the water on using this method?? Thank you.
If you keep your water hose out of the direct sun and drain it after each use you shouldn't have a problem. I'm not sure about your drip hoses though ... you might just have to test different times to see what works best. I know the drip hoses are different and some deliver water faster than others.

Well said! 👍😊
Nice ive been eye balling one of These for a while now
They truly are so easy to drag around the yard for hand watering. The light weight is a winner for me. 😊
Hello neighbor 😊 Lake Jackson here.
Hello neighbor! I hope all is well with you down in the Lake Jackson area! We are HOT here. 🥵
@@ButterfliesNBirds yes this heat and humidity is kicking our butts. 😂🥵

I don't know why I feel like setting up drip is going to be difficult/complicated.

@@ButterfliesNBirds Thank you, I use Pantone so I will fertilize and water a the David Verity Cuphea a little more.
I'm hoping mine responds soon too!
Good Morning, I can’t find where you linked this product, wjen I click on the details of video it goes to something that isn’t details. Thanks!
