New Hose Question
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? Steve Ignots |

New Hose Question
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.

New Hose Question
If you have a Sam's Club near you, or any good garden center, they will both
sell hoses made completely out of rubber. Hoses made out of rubber always come with a lifetime warranty IIRC. The one I bought at Sam's last year has a lifetime warranty and it is rubber, heavy duty, and 120 feet long. I paid about 20 dollars. That's an exceptional price. So, any solid rubber, or mostly rubber hose is worth every cent.

A brand name, Gilmore, is a very good product and they do have a high end hose
which doesn't kink, will not twist or wear out. It too has a lifetime warranty. I always tape my receipt to the cardboard packaging and I put that in the shed. That way, whenever I do need to call up the warranty, I have all the information.

Thanks to all who responded. I will fish my old hose out of the trash and take
a peak at Sam's Club when they get their spring stuff out. I think my 'other' hose is rubber and it's doing fine. Thanks also for the tip on CR. Steve Ignots |

I's simple. Buy the most expensive one available.
