Will you be out in the yard watering plants this weekend? On my big farm, it takes a lot of close monitoring to stay on top of the watering tasks. I use many garden hoses and now soaker hoses that can help irrigate at night, making the entire process more efficient and eco-friendly. One of my favorite sources is gilmourwatering, a company that’s been manufacturing hoses and other watering solutions for more than 70-years. This week, Pete Sherpa and Fernando Ferrari from my outdoor grounds crew, carefully positioned soaker hoses under trees and various plants in the allées, in my pergola, and in the border beds around my pastures - any areas where this type of watering is most needed. It’s quite an undertaking, but I know these Gilmour soaker hoses will help keep my valuable specimens well-irrigated through the season. #GilmourAmbassador #Gilmour #gilmourwatering #GilmourGardenandWatering
1 - My latest shipment from Gilmour includes 50-foot soaker hoses. 
2 - I also use Gilmour garden hoses. All of Gilmour’s hoses curve without kinking, connect without leaking, and are so easy to store.
3 - They are made from 100-percent recycled vinyl, which is environmentally friendly and clog-resistant.
4 - Both ends have industrial strength brass fittings. This is the hose connector at one end.
5 - Inside is a special washer that controls the water flow.
6 - Pete uncoils the hose first to determine how many he will need for a certain area. Soaker hoses are placed behind the boxwood borders on both sides of my pergola.
7 - And here is Pete underneath my long Boxwood Allée. Be sure any water also travels down hill from the source wherever possible. 
8 - Here is the amount of water that flows through the hose once it is turned on.
9 - The water is released via tiny pores along the hose length, allowing for even distribution. 
10 - The hoses water down to the roots with steady streams that can be efficiently absorbed through the soil. In addition, Gilmour hoses are all made in the USA and backed by lifetime warranties. Thanks Gilmour.
