I like a quality hose too, sorry I'm not familiar with brand names,
but I have found a linear marking on the hose is helpful because I
make a lot of turns watering pots along pathways and tend to twist the
hose. Winding the hose back on the reel is easier when it is fairly
straight.

Regards,

Hal

I just put away my hoses for the winter and notice that one of them is shot to
the point of being trashed. Now, or come Spring, I will be in the market for a
new one. Interested in a good one for the long haul (the one I just trashed
I've had for 15+ years) so I don't mind spending some extra money. What should
I look for in a good garden hose and does anyone have brand recomendations?
