Add a Touch of Class With a Garden Hose Pot

Each and every spring, homeowners will pull out the trusty old garden hose to use throughout another long summer. It is definitely one piece of equipment that any green yard or garden cannot do without.

The problem that arises in many cases is: just where do you store your 50 or 100 foot hose?

Those that are organized and respect the investment they have made in this trusty spring and summer device will probably have a sturdy hose reel placed next to the house so that it can be stored easily between uses.

For those that are looking for a more decorative method for storage, consider investing in a garden hose pot.

When researching the kinds of hose pots that are available commercially, you most likely will find that they can be made from a variety of materials. Copper garden hose pots are popular, but many cheaper models today are made of weather resistant fiberglass.

A good hose pot can usually store more than 100 feet of hose. On the side of the unit is a hole, which allows for a continuous connection to a faucet or spigot.

Like the garden hose reel, the garden hose pot sits on the ground, and can be partially hidden if so desired. They are especially useful for those homeowners that have an outdoor pool.

There are many varieties of pots available today. It is important to choose one that fits the outside look of your home.

For example, brick homeowners can easily choose a boldly colored one, such as burgundy or blue to compliment the outside appearance of their home.

Other models are made of decorative stonework or terra cotta to give the home or pool area a more classy or traditional look. If ceramic is your favorite, you'll have no problem finding a ceramic hose pot in many colors to match that will match the exterior of your home.

Surprise your neighbors this year and add a touch of class to your home this summer by storing your hose in a garden hose pot.

This Summer's 3 Must-Have Products For Your Garden

Every year there are a raft of garden products hitting the market, each pertaining to be the hottest, best, must have items for your garden. Some are the real deal, others on closer examination do not fulfil the hype and so fall by the wayside never to be seen again. So, how to sort the wheat from the chaff?

Well this year we have reviewed a number of large selection of these products and have put together what we feel to be the 3 essential items for your garden...choose these and you won't be disappointed, miss out and you will!!
 
Chosen for the way they compliment each other we hope you like them too.
 
Number 1 - the Weber Q320 Portable Gas BBQ
 
An easy choice has to be Weber's flagship portable gas BBQ, the Q320. Replacing the Q300 as the top model in the "Q" range, it is well built, fantastically specified, and best of all, a fantastic performer. With a cooking surface of 462sq inches, it is large enough to do some serious entertaining and with the addition of a warming rack for keeping cooked food warm it is now better than ever. Made of premium quality materials - cast aluminium and resin, it comes permanently attached to a cart for portability, has an all new electronic ignition system and a thermometer to keep an eye on cooking temperatures. Porcelain coated cast iron grills ensure that cleaning is as easy as cooking. Being a Weber, performance is assured, cooking everything from burgers to joints with aplomb and ability - temperatures easily controlled, the inbuilt thermometer ensuring food is cooked through. Unbeatable and a major improvement on our previous favorite Weber, the Q300.
 
Number 2 - Strathwood Chaise Lounge
 
Strictly speaking not a new product, but any item which has consistently been a top seller for a couple of years must be doing something right. A hardwood chaise lounge made from renewable sources (kapur wood which has very similar properties to teak, is durable and hardwearing), slide out drinks tray and 5 different positions from totally upright to totally flat, virtually maintenance free, what more could you want? Admittedly it does require a little assembly, but nothing taxing, and well worth the effort. With the addition of the optional cushion set this makes for a perfect purchase to grab some well earned rest having cooked for friends and family on your Weber Q320!!
 
Number 3 - Flowtron BK-80D Electronic Bug Killer
 
Admittedly not a glamorous addition to the list, but in a lot of places a necessary one. The Flowtron BK-80D is a serious customer when it comes to dealing with airborne nasties such as mosquitoes and flies. It uses a nontoxic ultraviolet light to eliminate mosquitoes, biting flies, and other insects over a 1 ½ acre area. It is cleaner and safer than its chemical counterparts, and its non-clogging killing grid eliminates build up of insect remains that can short-circuit the unit or cause flare-ups. The insect killer is sturdily made with a protective outer enclosure to prevent children, pets, birds, or wildlife from contacting the charged grid. As a recent purchaser of this unit myself, I am amazed at how effective the killer has been in my garden, meaning sitting out having a drink is no longer plagued by bugs.
 
In conclusion, we have listed above what we feel to be the 3 essential products for your garden, a fantastic barbeque to entertain friends and family, a brilliant chaise lounge to relax in after all the cooking is over, and a small but very effective electronic bug killer to ensure that your time in the garden is pest free. A perfect combination.
