I have always been a bit of a sucker for as seen on TV products, but my husband, not so much. That was until he saw the pocket hose in action. We have a small back yard and over the years have tried several different hoses, but there is always the issue of storage.
First we had a hook that we would hang it on, then we tried the container with a crank (that broke within a few weeks), but the reality is that I just don't want to deal with lifting and coiling a heavy, wet, sometimes dirty hose.
The pocket hose is an accordion hose that expands to a full size hose as soon as the water gets turned on! It comes in 4 lengths, 25, 50, 75, and 100 feet, and literally weights about as much as an apple. Once the water is turned off it shrinks back to it's original size, making putting it away a breeze!
Do be sure to read the instructions though, due to the expanding nature of this hose you need to watch the water pressure and make sure to drain the hose at the end of each use. Totally worth the effort for the neat and clean appearance of the hose!
I for one, cannot wait until the spring when I can start watering the garden again! Available online.
