Are there actually any decent garden hose fittings???
I've tried quite a few over the years, brass and plastic, and they all seem to develop leaks or need constant re-tightening. Not scared to spend a few bucks on something decent.
The situation is that I'll have to run ~30m of hose from the back of the hoose down to the vege garden. If I could find some reliable non-leaky fittings I could just do it with conventional hose (preferably with one ~30m length).
Failing that, can I use blue water pipe as a garden hose (sorta, kinda :;)? Does cold water pipe have to always be buried to 600mm or can it run along the exterior walls of buildings? There are existing water pipes (H&C) attached to the side of this house.
