I also cut small lengths to use as hand guards on pail handles, to protect my live electric fence from metal t-posts - it almost (!) pays to run over a garden hose once in a while! I had not thought of this use but will sure use it.Susanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12573143203599624833noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3552387675026716797.post-38116720476788658442015-04-02T00:33:14.720-05:002015-04-02T00:33:14.720-05:00Yep, just about the simplest thing I can think of ...Yep, just about the simplest thing I can think of to do with it.

Just lay your hose where you want it and with a can of bright colored spray paint, spray along the outside of the garden hose line and you have your bed all marked on where you want to dig, lay timbers or whatever.Colleenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13106960827480062745noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3552387675026716797.post-8013486774221721632015-04-01T16:26:20.309-05:002015-04-01T16:26:20.309-05:00Great use of a gardening accident casualty!

I use large landscape pins to hold it in place. Mowers won't pull it up. However, I look at the guy, point to the hoses, tell him NOT to move them, pointing out there are metal pins holding them down. I walked into the house, turned and looked out the window just in time to see the guy rip out all three just as fast and hard as he could. The pins went flying. Now, I have to use a magnet to find them. But, the hoses do help stop the erosion.
