The only casualties so far are 3 super heavy duty garden hoses that ‘kink’. They are being replaced with 100’ lightweight expandable, burst proof hoses - they look like snakes! No hose reel necessary - I hate dragging hose off the reel & having to wind it up again. I also have new water wands to replace the sprayers. I tried a water wand last night - no leaking & I love the spray options. They are heavy duty & were on clearance for $10.50 😁 I might actually enjoy watering in the future - with the current setup, I dread it.
I was going to give away the heavy duty hoses, but the thought occurred: the somewhat buried hose line along the fence to the garden needs replacing (has several leaks) & the 3 old hoses should do the trick. Instead of burying them, I will run them along the bottom board of the fence.
Another project - just what I need LOL!
Beau was doing some mowing with the HUGE mower attachment on the skid steer. He ran over one of the sets of hoses, but he fessed up and repaired them the next day. ;)
New/decent hoses and wands are such a luxury! I have the ‘Flexzilla’ hoses. They’re not cheap, but they don’t kink and come in 100’ length. They’re also that bright yellow-green color; easy to see so you DON’T mow them down.
