Good Morning Homesteaders,
↑This was the view out my side door this morning↑
My normal routine in the morning, after coffee and clearing messages, is to go out and spread my pee around the garden area, as a repellant to wildlife.
It works, trust me. And it is good for the grass ha ha
So I did the one side of my studio to help stop the traffic over there at night that sets off the motion sensors, then went around to the veggie garden, and surprise!
One of the brand new, just attached about 12 hrs previously, 6 ft gardenhose segments had ruptured.
Explanation/history
I only have ONE reliable outside hose bib at my house, so both front and backyard hoses are connected to a "Y" at the front corner of the house, with two 100 ft hoses connected and under pressure at all times.
The one in front is adequate, but well, I am always trying for improvements
↑This was taken this morning↑
When I left the front one, there was a MINOR drip where the two hoses connected, so just in case tightening didn't stop it, I left it so that any drips would at least water that hydrangea. As far as I can tell, it didn't drip.
Not so out back
I don't understand it, it was later in the afternoon when I connected and used this, so it wasn't like the sun cause over pressure or softening of the plastic, but still.
I had left it so that any DRIP would not go to waste, instead I woke up to find a wading pool
And the ground inside the red lines is saturated. I shudder to think how much my water bill may increase, and my GOD! what would have happened if it had happened in the morning after I watered, and had been gone all day!? 😱
