Store Garden Hose Underground

Store Garden Hose Underground FARM HOME Miscellaneous 30-3-30 If you're looking for a way to hide your water hose yet keep it close to an outside faucet, you might like this new way to store a hose reel underground. It's a 10 1/2-in. deep by 18-in. dia. plastic cylinder that goes in the ground. It has a fold-out reel that'll hold up to 75 ft. of hose. Steve Kowalke, inventor, recommends putting 2 to 3 in. of gravel at the bottom so the hose can drain through holes in the bottom of the container. The lid extends just above ground level. "It's nice having the hose so close to the outside faucet and keeping it out of sight." Comes in stone, brown or green. Sells for $59.95 plus S&H.
