The secret hose

FEB

2008

Living in Florida I came to realize that if you want to have beautiful flowers and lots of veggies during the drought months, you have to do something.

In every neighborhood you will have those busy bodies who delight in tattling on their neighbors who use water when they aren't supposed to. Those people are dorks and are usually more of an offender than those they are reporting.

I checked with my water company as well as the local county extension service about this idea I have been implementing for quite a while now. All you have to do when planning your garden or flower bed is to weave this soaker hose around your plants or along side of them then cover it with mulch.

You can run the hose for hours and still use less than half the amount you normally would when you water for 15 minutes. Plants lose water in a process called transpiration. Think of it like sweating. Most all plants take up their water through the roots. So why not put water where it belongs?

Covering the hose with mulch keeps the water contained as well as covered from those prying eyes. Also not to mention it's made of rubber. Recycled rubber put to use once again. It does the job better than hand watering and like I said, it puts water where it's supposed to be, on the roots.

I highly recommend this product to any one who gardens. Especially for those who love roses. You don't have to worry about those water problems because you aren't using that much.
