Get started with these hoses, nozzles, irrigation timers, rain gauges, and more.
Lightweight Hose
Nothing makes watering more of a hassle than lugging around a bulky, heavy hose. Maneuver around the garden more easily with this lightweight, flexible garden hose. It expands to three times its size (up to 75 feet long) when it’s in use, then shrinks back down, so it’s easy to store in your garage or shed until you need it again. Plus, it resists kinking.
Bright Hose Nozzle
Get more out of your hose with an attachable head. You can even color-coordinate your hose nozzle with patio cushions or the shade of your favorite blooms. It changes pressure with a simple slide of your thumb.
Slow Drip Irrigation
Avoid evaporation and runoff by delivering water directly above thirsty root balls with a drip irrigation set up. A starter kit is perfect for small beds or up to six containers. You can also cut and shape the hose to work for your garden.
Watering Stakes
If you don’t want to fill up and lug around a watering can daily, use watering stakes to do the job for you. Stick one of these terra-cotta stakes into a planter, then fill a wine bottle with water to set on top. The terra-cotta will slowly release water to your container garden, so the plants have a consistent source of moisture but aren’t sitting in soggy soil. Plus, the stakes will fit any long-neck bottle, so they’re a good way to recycle and help hydrate your garden simultaneously.
High-Tech Rain Gauge
You can check outdoor conditions without leaving your chair with a wireless rain gauge. The self-emptying rain collector wirelessly reports rainfall amounts and outdoor temperatures to an indoor monitor with an easy-to-read LCD. The monitor also tracks rainfall amounts for the previous 365 days, so you’ll know if you’ve received at least an inch of rainfall during the past week or if you need to get out and water.
