I need a good hose that will stretch around the front and side flower beds to apply a fungicide. Is this one light enough to do this easily?

i am not sure for fungicide,but i like the hose and it is easy to hold not heavy.

I would think so. Just check the length u need. I bought the 1/2" so that is would be lighter for me to handle. This hose is flexible, soft, nonkinking and easy to roll up on my hose caddy. Love this hose!!!

I agree w/the other 3 answers; since it is thinner than a normal hose, it is much lighter. Just be careful when dragging it around - watch for loops in the hose that will turn into kinks if you keep pulling on it (no hose is kink-free in this situation); my wife drags it all over the back yard fully extended to 150' (we have 2 - 75' sections screwed together). For less weight, before you roll it up, turn the water off first @ the house & leave the nozzle open so it drains out so you aren't dealing w/water weight too.

Yes, it's light and easy to move around. I have also had no problems with kinks. I like the hose.

I think so! I use mine out front with a long hose to water grass a short hose to water the flowers on a dual connector. Also i use a timer on the long hose! Good luck!

Get a long power extension cord very light easy to use. A long hose would probably need larger I.D. the heavy hose not to good.

i use this about once a week and have had it for twenty years. i bought my son two of these for his house. i also have a compressure hose on a metal reel that i bought twenty years ago. i think the copressure hose would be light enough to use but not in a work place where you use it all day. if you would just use it at home , it would be fine. good luck.

I didn't use this for a hose, but rather to attach panels on our greenhouse. I agree with David L. Little, though... It feels like very thick packing tape and isn't flexible.. It also didn't hold up that well in the rain. I had to remove some of it and replaced it with clear duck tape, which has held 100% better. The gorilla tape really seems to be very overpriced for what it is..

Absolutely! This it one of the best non-kink water hoses I've ever used. It's flexible, but the walls of the hose are stiff enough that it is very difficult to kink.

I used a regular garden hose. Any wal-Mart, Kmart or ocean state job lots or hardware stores should have garden hoses. I hope this helps.

Yes, It is flexible and not heavy at all. I use it on my nebulizer / oxygen hose also.

I don't know about the flex hose. This is just like any regular garden hose except that it is drinking grade. I use it in the yard because the kids like to drink from the hose in the hot summer. It does not automatically extend and roll up.

I have had one of these in my front yard for over two years-- WORKS GREAT. Now I am ordering one for back yard, HINT-- Buy a kink-free, commercial grade hose. (Would not work with my cheap hose) Also---stand by as hose is re-winding because sometimes there is a sprayer end of my hose that sometimes catches on trees, rocks, etc.

Most customers find that this is a flexible and not stiff hose.Melanie with Goedekers

When I am ready to lay the hoses in the garden, I first lay them in the sunshine for a few hours and the rubber becomes flexible. Super tight turns aren't practicle because of course they pinch off the flow of water, but I've gotten the curves I've needed from the sun-heating method.

No, a regular hose will work as the Cambell Hausfeld unit comes complete and ready to go. I just used mine yesterday and still very pleased.

Yes, this is perfect as a garden hose. The outside covering of this hose will take the weather if left outside.

It's a very good quality material and more flexible then a standard vacuum hose, it doesn't weight that much, I would sai very lightweight .

I don't recall because I bought a 3 foot hose that Amazon was selling. But I do recall that it's for a low pressure application and was a little smaller than a regular garden hose. Whatever size that maybe.

They are certainly flexible enough to make a loop that is no more than one foot across. I have two of them snaked around and through bushes and plants that I can't water with sprinklers. These are true soaker hoses that sort of ooze water, not the flat hoses that have holes on just one side, and that are hard to keep flat where they are curved. It helps to place them while they are warm and therefore most flexible.
