  • MY ADVICE: I'm a Market Gatdener and have about 20 of these sprinkler hoses in play. Here's a lesson learned the hard way: at the end of your faucet (or regular hose) attach a valve shutoff before attaching the sprinkler hose. I usually connect up to 50 ft of hose together. When you first turn it on, open up the pressure full, until the water reaches the end. Then reduce the pressure to about 50 percent. The first year I used these, I left pressure full open and it "blew out" the first couple holes large enough, it made all the water release only there. I've tried to tape those holes shut with flex tape, but doesn't work. I will try to glue shut those couple holes, otherwise I think I ruined my first 2 hoses. I live in the country and just have a household well. I have hard water and have not had issues with mineral buildup. I have eight 50 ft laid out in a large row garden. Each is connected to a 4-part shutoff valve, so I can control which row is watered. Just be mindful about the pressure!
  • @jeroid123
    Thank you! Just finished 3 hours of hand watering, walked inside and thought "There has to be a better way", genuinely appreciate you for this one!
  • Millennial finds Gen X invention from the 70’s. I’m glad someone still makes this type of hose. A lot of good things have been lost to time.
  • @BritInvLvr
    Oh wow. My grandma had one of those sprinkler hoses. She’d set it up so my brothers and I could run through it.
  • @skyleen
    I was a child in the 1960s, and I remember that we had one of these sprinkler hoses. It's great that they are either still around, or back. 😊
  • @MeemsKaso
    Oh Anthony....you have brought great memories back of being a kid in the late 60's & 70's with my cousins running through the sprinkler hose! 😂 They used to be green with the white stripe. I don't remember any of our moms using them upside down. We didn't have spikes to hold them down either. We used to get frustrated because sometimes our fun was interrupted by the hose twisting and water would push out to the side instead of the mist fountains. Between this Slip & Slide & Water Wiggle we had a blast! We went through a lot of them because our dads would knick them with the lawn mower 😢😮 I'm glad you're excited to have found them, but they've been around for a very long time.
  • Thanks for the nostalgic moment! We had one of these in the 1960s for the lawn. We kids loved to jump over it on hot days.
  • I watch a LOT of gardening YouTubers and none of them go into the detail on natural habitat that these plants we force to grow in non native ways have. Keep it up brotha!! 💪❤
  • @govegan0424
    If you have a Menards nearby, they stock an AMERICAN MADE sprinkler hose like this for MUCH less money (50% less than Amazon). These are excellent products, AMERICAN MADE, less expensive, and not supporting Amazon.
  • @Mickey-bd4hi
    I wanted you to know that we ve eaten beets, radishes, peas. Zucchini and some greens out of our garden. This is the best garden we ve ever had thanks to following many of your tips.
  • @violet7245
    We sure played in those back in the 60’s
  • I love your channel! I've learned a lot for my gardening, plus you make me laugh in moments like this. Ok, showing my age. How many of us ran through these when we were young kids? 😅 put a tarp under it and have a slip n slide. Of course I love Dale as well
  • I love my watering time,after work every afternoon a cigar and a cold one plus I get a chance to eyeball everything,picked two horn worms off last night and found flea bettles on my mustard greens which I dusted this morning before leaving for work...😉
  • Because of your full-fledged excitement and endorsement of the sprinkler hoses, I ordered one from Amazon. Couldn't be happier with the hose and how well it thoroughly sprinkles the entire length (50' hose}. We will probably switch over to these totally as our older drip hoses begin to fail. Thank you for bringing these sprinkler hoses to our attention.
  • Used these in 70's, turn it over and it will dig deep holes in the garden so turn the volume down to make a drip...they work great
  • @AjArpopP52
    I love that you love this hose. I haven’t seen one of those since I was a kid in the late 60’s. Such a great idea to use it like you’re using it. You always post cool stuff. Thank you
  • @jerryf581
    Used these hoses back in the 70's on top of mobile homes(metal boxes back then) to try to help cool them off in the Mississippi Delta summertime heat.
  • We had hoses like that when I was little back in the 60's. We loved running through it on a hot day. There's nothing new here. Glad your sharing so people who didn't know about them now do.
  • I grew up with sprinkler hoses in the 60s & 70s. Didn't know they still existed! Thanks for bringing them back into my awareness. 😊
