Dean, You don't happen to know the brand of your expensive hose do you? (I
hope)

Good topic!!
Of my various and sundry collection of hoses, I have one (expensive?)
hose -- as I recall it was, like, $35 for a 50-footer. Bought it several
years ago during a moment of complete mental clarity. I love it. It
doesn't tie itself into knots, doesn't crease no matter how it's hung or
tossed onto the ground, and although quite supple it's relatively heavy so
it doesn't fly up on it's own and
thrash the plants.
I've lately had another moment of total mental clarity and have given all
the other hoses -- the $10-$20 kind -- warning that their days here are
numbered. The next time I have any "extra" cash they are all going to the
curb, to be replaced by more of the expensive ones. Normally I tend to be
on the (cheap?) side, but I've had it with the spigot "going geyser" because
a hose tied itself into
a knot. There's a saying, "It's not a bargain if you don't need it." I'm
going to adapt that and say, "It's not a bargain if it's a useless piece of
sh*t." ;-)
