An easier way to water?

Posted at 10:01 am

On a recent sunny day, I went outside to water my garden. Watering the gardening leaves me plenty of time for thinking -- not always a good thing. After a little thinking, I realized I had an old soaker hose in my garage. Wouldn't it be great to just get that out and save myself some time?

Thus began the wrestling match. An hour later, I finally had it in place, but it wasn't pretty. I had stepped on some of my tiny lettuce, squished several strawberries, and the hose still was trying to move. It was like trying to tame a giant, black, stubborn snake.

Once I was done with the struggle to save some time, I realized there is probably an easier way. Right?

So tell me, what do you do to make watering your garden more efficient? If you have any suggestions, please share them here, or by e-mailing me.
