Few people know about this BRILLIANT garden hose hack!

I've got an area on the side of my house that is just ugly with an old hose.

So, what I'm going to do is take some handles and the base for a planter to create a decorative gardening solution. Finding out how to do it can be difficult, but it's actually quite simple. First, take the handles and cover them with tape. Then, use a pen to poke through where the screws go in the handles. Peel off the tape and transfer it onto the side of the planter where you want to drill your marks. Once it's firmly in place, use a pin or a black marker to mark the spots where you'll drill the holes. Remove the tape to reveal your marked spots.

To attach the handles, ensure you have the right size drill bit for the screws. Drill the holes and then insert the screws from the inside to the outside of the planter. Tighten the screws first by hand and then with a screwdriver. Repeat the process for both sides of the planter, ensuring they are securely attached. These handles will be used to carry the base around.

Next, flip the planter over to drill some drainage holes. Use the marks on the back as a guide and drill the holes all the way through, including the middle one for proper drainage. Flip the planter back over and fill it with succulent potting soil. Spread the soil out evenly and fill the planter. Now, you can begin transplanting your succulents onto this base. Simply create holes in the soil and place the roots of the succulents in them. Succulents are easy to care for and can be transported from one pot to another without much hassle. They require less water, earning them the nickname "forget-me-nots" due to their ability to thrive even with occasional neglect.

For the planter hiding the hose, drill a hole about halfway up where you'll insert the hose. A one-inch hole should suffice. Additionally, to prevent water buildup, drill some drain holes in the bottom of the planter.

Lastly, to hold the lid up, place some wood inside the planter. Pre-drill holes using a drill, insert screws and tighten them with the drill against the side of the planter. Make sure to do this on both sides to secure the wood properly. Don't forget to guide the garden hose through the hole, pulling it all the way through and wrapping it up neatly. Finally, place your succulent tray on top of the planter.

I hope these DIY gardening ideas inspire you to create your own succulent tray garden hose holder. Thank you!

I appreciate you sharing the hack for the handles of the first one. It'll work for hanging pictures on my wall. Also I really like the way you're giving instruction. Don't worry about the complainers, they'd complain if you went too fast. God Bless all who come across this video and those who don't.

Great tip with the hose but as the tray and the planter is plastic you should use washers for the screws and bolts. The handles will have pressure on them and the screws could loosen or come out. Also with a washer it means you can tighten them without fear of the screw heads breaking through the plastic as you screw them in.

I welded a rim on a metal pole, set it up painted, it's a perfect hose keeper but yours is so much prettier.

3:42 - when mating metal to PVC I always ensure that the female coupling is metal (galvanized steel) and the male is PVC as pipe thread is tapered and can easily split the PVC, but not the other way 'round.

Love all 3 ideas, so practical! Thank you🙏

Very nice hose container. I only wish I knew of a way to deter hornets from building nests in containers outside.

Step 1 is potentially problematic depending on screw separation and curvature of base - distance between holes via tape is a straight line. Base is curved

I love the garden hacks! Can't wait to use them in my own yard. Tyfs

I love it ! So cute . It will look great next to my patio .

Thick plastic washer on the inside of the handle bolts would help prevent clay cracking

Fiy, drill holes before you screw becuse you can split the wood like you just did.

So on the 2nd project, I am such a literal person, sorry, but was the hose from faucet guided up to thru inside of the new white hose guard/pillar? If any one can tell me, please. Thx.

Guys, I don't like the first hack that much. I think it will become cumbersome to have to remove that planter waiter tray every time I need the hose. This will be especially annoying for avid gardeners.

Garden hose In a bucket, underneath a tray of plants. On top of the bucket, to hide the hose in the bucket, that has the hose in it, underneath the tray of succulent plants so it’s hidden underneath the tray of succulent plants . So that you wouldn’t know that there is a hose in there . Underneath the tray of succulents on top of the bucket of hose, that you don’t know is there like that, unless you remove the lid that is a tray of succulent plants, when you need to have a hose to water stuff with a hose that is hidden underneath succulent plants, in a tray, that is a lid to a bucket of hose .

Mostly dumb ! I thought from the photo that they had a hack for keeping the hose from kinking ! Now that would be helpful.

I don't think I've ever heard the word succulent being used in a video as much as this I don't know if I should feel concerned or start my own succulent garden
