Few people know about this BRILLIANT garden hose hack!

- I've got an area on the side of my house that is just ugly with an old hose.
So, what I'm going to do is take some handles and the base for a planter to create a decorative gardening solution. Finding out how to do it can be difficult, but it's actually quite simple. First, take the handles and cover them with tape. Then, use a pen to poke through where the screws go in the handles. Peel off the tape and transfer it onto the side of the planter where you want to drill your marks. Once it's firmly in place, use a pin or a black marker to mark the spots where you'll drill the holes. Remove the tape to reveal your marked spots.
To attach the handles, ensure you have the right size drill bit for the screws. Drill the holes and then insert the screws from the inside to the outside of the planter. Tighten the screws first by hand and then with a screwdriver. Repeat the process for both sides of the planter, ensuring they are securely attached. These handles will be used to carry the base around.
Next, flip the planter over to drill some drainage holes. Use the marks on the back as a guide and drill the holes all the way through, including the middle one for proper drainage. Flip the planter back over and fill it with succulent potting soil. Spread the soil out evenly and fill the planter. Now, you can begin transplanting your succulents onto this base. Simply create holes in the soil and place the roots of the succulents in them. Succulents are easy to care for and can be transported from one pot to another without much hassle. They require less water, earning them the nickname "forget-me-nots" due to their ability to thrive even with occasional neglect.
For the planter hiding the hose, drill a hole about halfway up where you'll insert the hose. A one-inch hole should suffice. Additionally, to prevent water buildup, drill some drain holes in the bottom of the planter.
Lastly, to hold the lid up, place some wood inside the planter. Pre-drill holes using a drill, insert screws and tighten them with the drill against the side of the planter. Make sure to do this on both sides to secure the wood properly. Don't forget to guide the garden hose through the hole, pulling it all the way through and wrapping it up neatly. Finally, place your succulent tray on top of the planter.
I hope these DIY gardening ideas inspire you to create your own succulent tray garden hose holder. Thank you!

I appreciate you sharing the hack for the handles of the first one. It'll work for hanging pictures on my wall. Also I really like the way you're giving instruction. Don't worry about the complainers, they'd complain if you went too fast. God Bless all who come across this video and those who don't.
Oh my goodness, you really put a grin on my face. Isn't it something, how we have become a world of complaining. If it's hot, we complain, if it's cold, if it's sunny, if it's cloudy, if it's too sweet or sour. 🤦♀️ I say, if we don't like something, scroll on 😉 God bless you Mary 🤗
@@mariamercy7317 awe, God bless you too Maria. Most mornings I ask God to let me be a blessing to others so that God will be glorified. You made my day with your reply so thank you very much 🤗
@Mary Folks you're welcome sis! In all, to God be the glory! And thanks for your reply 😉
Have a wonderful blessed weekend 🤗
I love this guys voice! He always has great ideas and his voice is super chill and relaxing. He needs his own ASMR channel 😊
I like the cutting board idea.
Awesome! I like the garden hose planter. It's different and unique. 😉
I love the watering can conveniently stored next to the water.
Our beloved Bob Ross is back! 😍
Oh wow that is so smart!!So happy I found your channel! 👍👍👍 Liz
Clever hacks! Thanks so much❣
Great tip with the hose but as the tray and the planter is plastic you should use washers for the screws and bolts. The handles will have pressure on them and the screws could loosen or come out. Also with a washer it means you can tighten them without fear of the screw heads breaking through the plastic as you screw them in.
I love the garden hacks! Can't wait to use them in my own yard. Tyfs
I welded a rim on a metal pole , set it up painted , it's a perfect hose keeper but yours is so much prettier.
Cool ideas 😊
Love all 3 ideas, so practical! Thank you🙏
Nice hack, thanks!
Very fancy. Thanks!
Very nice hose container. I only wish I knew of a way to deter hornets from building nests in containers outside.
I have read that Peppermint and Lemongrass does the job. You can get those through Amazon or any other... Have a happy day!
@@mariamercy7317 Thank you very much! I'll look into that.
I spray a mix of water with a squirt of dish soap inside my propane tank lid and in a garden shed roof to keep the wasps from trying to build nests. It leaves a soapy coating they don't like.
@@oldauntzibby4395 Thank you. Makes sense. In the last 2 yrs, in spite of my best efforts, hornets have found a way to get inside of my garden shed so I'll give that a try.
Ingenious!! Thank you for posting.
Step 1 is potentially problematic depending on screw separation and curvature of base - distance between holes via tape is a straight line. Base is curved
Love it!!!
3:42 - when mating metal to PVC I always ensure that the female coupling is metal (galvanized steel) and the male is PVC as pipe thread is tapered and can easily split the PVC, but not the other way 'round.
I love it ! So cute . It will look great next to my patio .
Great ideas
Thanks for the great ideas 😊
Looks great!
Guys, I don't like the first hack that much. I think it will become cumbersome to have to remove that planter waiter tray every time I need the hose. This will be especially annoying for avid gardeners.
..and by the tone used by the 1st guy, does he really think he's instructing a room of feeble-minded folk?..gads
I was thinking that this project is a poor design. Succulents don't need much water. He just made more work for himself
I wasn’t too impressed with it either. It did get rid of the unsightly mess of a hose though.
@@Cynsome1 Yes, you've got a good point there. Perhaps if it's not the main hose that you use often, it's a very good idea. But for me, the avid gardener, I am better off with the hose tidied up on something that unravels easily.
I agree
if you pre drill you split less
Dude, your my new Martha Stewart.
Fiy, drill holes before you screw becuse you can split the wood like you just did.
Mostly dumb ! I thought from the photo that they had a hack for keeping the hose from kinking ! Now that would be helpful.
Thick plastic washer on the inside of the handle bolts would help prevent clay cracking
The 1st one: I can see me trying to pick up the lid and setting it aside, only to accidentally dump it all over. Nope, too easy to mess up and possibly kill those poor succulents.
Garden hose In a bucket , underneath a tray of plants. On top of the bucket , to hide the hose in the bucket , that has the hose in it , underneath the tray of succulent plants so it’s hidden underneath the tray of succulent plants . So that you wouldn’t know that there is a hose in there . Underneath the tray of succulents on top of the bucket of hose , that you don’t know is there like that , unless you remove the lid that is a tray of succulent plants , when you need to have a hose to water stuff with a hose that is hidden underneath succulent plants , in a tray , that is a lid to a bucket of hose .
Shrinking retractable hose is better not as durable but I’ve been using one for a few years now…don’t use with a pressure washer tho it’s not durable enough
good Idea
I don't think I've ever heard the word succulent being used in a video as much as this I don't know if I should feel concerned or start my own succulent garden
Looks like it would be a pain to get the hose back in the planter each time you used it plus the plastic planter will tip so easy...
Or for 5 bucks just buy a hose hanger 2 screws 2 rawplugs and wont have do all that drilling,cutting timber, putting on handles and moving plants everytime you want to use the hose. Or even easier buy a hose reel.Or if dont want to spend any money, Unclip your hose and hang it in the shed out of the sun untill you need it.. Or
Clever!
WHY would you waste time and money HIDING your kettle
So... add more clutter to the kitchen rather than find a way to minimize the clutter by finding a better way to organize it? Nope
nice enough, doesn't solve the perpetual issue of twisted and kinking hose winding
Is that 2% or whole milk paint?
Shucks I thought you would teach us a quick and easy way to coil the hose so small. This would only work for a short, lightweight hose for a patio I suppose
8 and a half minutes just like that....gone
If u pre drill, you won't split the wood ;)
So on the 2nd project,I am such a literal person, sorry, but was the hose from faucet guided up to thru inside of the new white hose guard/pillar? If any one can tell me, please. Thx.
I don’t know if I should go ahead.
The first 2 hacks are new, the other one is old and unpractical, it’s more like creating more clutter for the countertops.
One tuck on the hose then the whole thing topples over.
i would not do any of these "hacks".. buying materials, painting, sanding to hide my phone charger? unplug it and put it in a drawer🤷🏻♂️
I see your point, but there's great satisfaction when we DIY. Enjoy your day wherever you are! 😊
@@mariamercy7317 i understand 100%.. i would rather do ANYTHING for myself before paying someone $50 dollars a hour to hide something for me..i love the satisfaction of doing it myself
Yeah, but you should see my drawer.
Nope.
Couldn't you just drill through the tape?
Umm what?

This has to be a joke!
He sounds so
Pretentious 😂
Does anyone else think that the narrator’s voice sounds like he’s talking to children?
🤣🤣
you split all the cutting boards because you didn't have the sense to drill them first. typical woman.
