The telescope garage is beginning to get a dangerous growth of grasses around it, so it is time to do a weed barrier and rock, to reduce fire hazard. The particular weed killer we use, KillzAll, works best when sprayed with a hose -- but we did not have a long enough hose. I decided that it made more sense to buy a 100 foot hose to add to our current hose, rather than rent some sort of sprayer.
When we reached Horseshoe Hardware, there was a100 foot hose for $30 -- but it was labeled "light duty" for gardening. When something is labeled "light duty" I assume that means, "won't survive the season." When was the last time you saw anything sold as "light duty?"
But there was a 100 foot hose that claimed "Industrial Strength for Commercial Use" and 3/4" diameter interior. It had mental springs where it attaches to the faucet to prevent kinking there. It was also advertised as "500 psi burst strength." Obviously, we only have 65 psi water pressure, but my hope was that being 6 ply, it would resist expanding under pressure, allowing more pressure to get through the hose to the far end. It was also $75.
"Right tool for the job" is my motto, so I bought it. And it is indeed a very well-made garden tool. Even better: Gilmour makes it in America.
