The Best Garden/Yard Hose for Women! |
For years we've known about flexible, retractable hoses for the yard, but never bothered to invest in one.
Maybe it's Covid-shopping-itis, or something like that, but this year was the year we jumped in and bought one of these lightweight, shrinkable garden hoses.
Best. Decision. Ever.
We've purchased one for the backyard, and now I want one for the front!
I honestly don't think my husband cares one way or the other, but I care!
Here's the female perspective on this garden/yard hose:
1. It's so light! Yes, that matters. Dragging that heavy water/garden hose around was brutal for me. This lightweight hose is nothing to maneuver! I do mean nothing. I can haul that thing all around the yard without a problem.
2. When it's time to put the thing away, gheesh, it's easy to hang up over the hose holder - why? because it's light.
3. We bought the 50-foot hose for the backyard and it takes up no space at all on the hose holder. Of course, the reason is that it shrinks up when not in use.
4. It's not bulky and ugly.
5. The other regular hose we had never assembled nicely over the holder. I know you can put the regular type hoses on those standing wind-up hose holders (we have one in the garage for the front yard). However, we didn't want one of those sitting on our backyard patio.
6. When I get up in the morning, I like to water the flowers and grass. It used to be a chore to haul the hose out to do that. Now, I just grab the new lightweight hose and bob's-your-uncle. Job done. No sweat. No effort.
Here's the hose on the holder in our backyard:

Can you believe this is 50 Feet of Garden/Yard Hose? I love this thing! |
We purchased our hose at Canadian Tire. However, you can find these just about anywhere, even Costco or Amazon. Here's a popular 100-Footer on Amazon.
In summary, if you're a yard-working-junkie, get yourself one of these!
