One of the main factors in maintaining a good garden is to make sure that you properly water all of your plants and flowers. Often, even the gardeners with the best intentions forget to water their gardens enough. Watering is usually a daily or even bi-daily chore and it takes some time and effort to do the job well.

Most homes are provided with just one water source for outdoor needs-typically a sillcock, or spigot, located near grade level on the side or back of the house. This single outlet is there to be used for a multitude of purposes, from watering lawns to gardening to washing the car.

Anyone who has ever dragged a garden hose around a yard to handle chores like these will see the value in installing additional outlets where they can be most useful. According to The Copper Development Association, most homes have copper plumbing, and if you are willing to pay a plumber you can extend you copper plumbing to the outside of your house. Copper is recommended for both indoor and outdoor use. The convenience of having water wherever you need it makes this project more than worthwhile.

Homeowners who prize their lawns know that watering is often required, and having a dedicated outdoor spigot for this purpose can save both time and money. If your watering needs are intermittent, a separate spigot allows you to install a hose timer that you can set and forget, and never have to bother with connecting or removing the sprinkler hose. And if you have, or plan to install, an in-ground sprinkler system, a separate spigot is usually necessary.

For those looking for a more cost affordable solution should look no further than a hose reel. There are many different types of hose reels, we recommend choosing a hose reel cart for maximum convenience. By implementing a hose reel cart solution you can increase the length of your hose by placing the hose reel cart in positions where is can reach all parts of your yard or garden.

Hose reel carts also help the watering process by better protecting the hose. With a hose reel cart, gardeners can easily store their hose indoors with no extra heavy lifting.
