Who Wants a Garden Hose for Christmas?

When you’re writing up your Christmas gift list this year, chances are that it won’t include a garden hose among your list of most-wanted items. If you’re serious about gardening, though, there are a number of garden hoses that you just might want to add to your list of gardening tools. Now, we’re not suggesting that you should give up your wish for diamond earrings for any old garden hose, but if you’ve got room under your tree, you might look forward to spring gardening and put in a request for one of these.

Coil Garden Hose

If you do small space gardening, you need a garden hose that’s designed to fit into your gardening lifestyle. The coil garden hose was created specifically to make watering tasks easier in enclosed, small spaces like your patio or deck. Unlike a traditional hose, the coil garden hose never needs to be rolled up on a garden hose reel. It takes up very little storage space and is far easier to maneuver in and around your patio furniture and container plants. If you’ve been watering your patio plants and container gardens with a watering can or traditional hose, you’ll love how easy a coil garden hose makes it to water all of your plants.

Garden Hose Reel

Increase the life of your garden hose and keep your garden looking tidy by investing in a high-quality garden hose reel. There are dozens of styles and types of reels available for garden hose storage. They range from wall-hung racks designed for small 1/2 inch garden hose to free-standing bins with self-retract mechanisms designed to hold your 100-foot 3/4 inch garden hose or even a one inch water hose. Storing your garden hose on a garden hose reel will keep it off the ground and reduce the chances of rot, decay and bacteria.

Heated Garden Hose

Make the morning watering chores easier during the colder months with a heated garden hose. Heated hoses come in a variety of sizes and varieties. They all have a built-in electric heater that keeps water from freezing inside the hose. The least expensive of them are heated at the faucet connector, which keeps the hose clear for water to flow. A heated garden hose is an important tool for anyone who needs to use a garden hose regularly during the winter months.

A garden hose may not be the most romantic of holiday gifts, but the right garden hose can make your life easier and give you more time to enjoy the things you love. Isn’t that a great reason to ask for a special garden hose from Santa this year?
