hoses

have you ever had a hose you pulled over a plant and crushed it ?
it is easy to do,
but there is a good solution to it,
you put in wood steaks to pull the hose across,

this keeps your plants safe while speeding up watering
a few at the end of each row usually does it. (the one on the right is not far enough out to keep the corn safe)

here are the 2 lengths I have,

the shorter one (12 inches long) is not good for the hoses, they are only good for marking things and to keep the cats from running away with my gofer traps
the longer one is long enough to hold in the ground and still have enough over the ground to make the hoses go where I want them to.

now time for a nap
