Hose Bowl Planter
The trouble with garden hoses in my experience is that most of them are lawn colored. Now this may be a boon to those who are more organized or indeed have better eyesight than me; you can leave your hose out while watering the lawn and not have it stick out like a sore thumb. For me it simply becomes a hazard because invariably the hose winds up wrapped around the blades of my mower; such is the nature of camouflage. These days I prefer a easier to avoid yellow hose but then my lawn then looks like…Well, it looks like a lawn with yellow hoses. Hose reels are no more attractive either because now not only can people see the hose it’s elevated and there’s this big contraption looking like part of a medieval siege engine hiding in your bushes. But not to worry, this ingenious product takes care of the organization and hides the hose nicely to boot. This nifty poly resin bowl has a hole in the back to feed the hose through, and inside you can coil up 75 feet of “as ugly as you want it” garden hose. The lid doubles as a planter perfectly hiding whatever color water hose you may keep in there. The Hose Bowl Planter is available from Skymall for $59.99
