One thing that can really ruin the impression of a garden for me - is messiness. You probably know what I am talking about - weeds that were pulled up yesterday are still lying in a big heap somewhere. There is a rake lying with its teeth pointing up in the air - in the middle of the driveway! But the worst one is the garden hose splayed all over the front lawn. It is not even hooked up to a sprinkler - just lying there in a tangle for all passers-by to see.

People, you have to care for your gardening equipment and you have to realize that your enjoyment of your garden decreases when you don't take the aesthetics seriously. Let me tell you about a piece of equipment that will help you on at least one count - the retractable garden hose. At its simplest, this is a garden hose reel with automatic roll up of the hose. This makes it much, much easier to get that hose coiled up and away from the lawn. No more dirty hands, arms and clothes trying to carry that hose inside the garage or whereever you usually store it. No more damage to the hose due to it lying around for days, falling victim to cars running it over in the driveway, lawnmowers cutting it to shreds in the tall grass, etc. Also, many hoses actually do not like being exposed to sunlight constantly, as it may speed up the decay of the hose material.

If it was easier to roll up your garden hose, would you do it every time? I know I would. A retractable garden hose reel lets your do it the easiest way possible. Just push a button and the hose is pulled in and rolled up nice and neat. Now it is protected from the elements, car tyres and lawnmowers, and it doesn't ruin the looks of your lawn. The great thing is, you can have it any way you want, as there is a design for every taste. Whether you want to conceal it or show it off, whether you want a stationary or portable model, there is one for you. With the addition of portability you also make your gardening work easier, and you no longer risk tearing the hose on a sharp corner, while tugging it like mad around your garden. Now, if only there was a way to make the rest of your garden mess disappear as quickly!
