I have two places where, when I water, the garden hose pulls through my flower beds and destroys the plants. It’s happened for years. I finally decided enough is enough and solved the problem this year with a simple garden stake. Why do we live with problems even when there is a simple solution?

You can see here where the plants wouldn’t grow from the hose coming around this corner.

The solution was a cute heavy duty hose guide. There are many styles available. I went with a little bird on a leaf. The hose now stays on the outside of the flower bed allowing the plants to fill in the bare spots and I’m no longer mad at myself for not fixing the situation sooner.

A simple fix to a years long problem. What problem can we solve next?
