Garden Hoses


DuPont Kevlar Heavy Duty Garden Hose: Product Review


I highly recommend this hose to anyone who dislikes carrying heavy rubber hoses or hates kinking. At 50 feet, it’s a good length for most yards and, at under 5 lbs, it’s lightweight enough to easily drag or carry wherever it’s needed. The easy-to-grasp collar eliminates hose twisting when connecting it to a spigot, sprinkler, or another hose, and the aluminum couplings attach firmly. While you’ll pay more for this hose than a standard garden Continue Reading


Flexon Commercial Premium Rubber Hose: Product Review


With crush-proof solid brass couplings, high burst strength, and a 10-year warranty, this heavy-duty rubber garden hose is built to last. At 9.4 lbs it’s heavier than a regular hose, but it stands up well to frequent use (even being dragged over abrasive surfaces) and kinks less than most. Available in red, black and green, this is a hose that I unequivocally recommend. Continue Reading


Swan RV & Marine+ Multi-Purpose Hose: Product Review


This is a terrific-drinking water safe hose (perfect for organic gardeners or taking a sip of water on a hot summer day). The Lay-Flat TechnologyTM makes it a breeze to uncoil and coil.

There’s no plastic taste when drinking directly from the hose and the Snap Back Into Continue Reading


Flexzilla Hose With SwivelGrip (HFZG550YWS): Product Review


The Flexzilla hose with SwivelGrip (model HFZG550YWS, not to be confused with HFZG550YW which doesn’t have the SwivelGrip ends) is top quality, high tech hose that’s truly kink free and built to last. The trademarked chartreuse color makes it super-visible, it’s lightweight but incredibly tough, flexible even at very low temperatures, and the high quality aluminum ends and coupler grips (SwivelGrip) make for easy fastening and unfastening of the hose from spigots and nozzles. In Continue Reading


Aeroflex™ Expanding Garden Hose: Product Review


I am pleasantly surprised how much I like this hose and I would absolutely purchase it for my garden use. It really is kink free, lightweight but very durable, and easy to coil or store away. Plus, unlike other expandable hoses, it stretches to a full-size 5/8 inch diameter and 50 feet in length. With a 5-year warranty and no signs of wear after almost a year of extensive use in the garden, it’s clearly Continue Reading
