I'll cut the hoses to 24 inch pieces.....and use the hose pieces to play fetch with the dogs. It's amazing how far one can throw these....even for an old guy like me. The dogs LOVE idea of recycling unusable water hoses. This farmer does too. A ball for the dog is about $4.00 .............and last about four days!
Pieces of hoses also make..... great tree ties, indeed! Ever seen those support wires that hold up telephones poles, trees, and other support needs......I don't see them till it's too late! Slip a hose onto these support wires and you'll never run into them again. Just split the hose from one end to the other...slip over the support wire. Done.
