With the dry weather we've been having, Heidi Ullrich is taking extra care of her lawn. She lives in Virginia Beach where there's no water problem.
She enjoys having her lawn look good and would like to find the perfect hose to match. She hopes the perfect hose lives up to its name.
The first job was getting it unraveled - but that took a click of a button. Next, the nozzle (included in the package) was attached. Then she turned on the water to see how perfect is it.
Watering her begonias was the easy part.
While running the hose through the mulch bed, she noticed the fabric content of the hose picked up pieces
The problem came when Ullrich was ready to roll it up.
After a couple of starts and stops, she realized the hose has to be laid down and flattened before it could be reeled in. "I don't know that it's all that time saving. It was hard for me to hold it and roll it. Of course, I don't have a whole lot of upper body strength. But it did hurt my fingers holding the plastic."
So, overall, while Ullrich thinks it's a good idea, she's not sold on the perfect hose. "It looks nice but I think it was more work. Give me my old plastic hose anytime, even though it might look tacky in my front yard."
The Perfect Hose is available in most hardware and garden stores for $20.
