I have been doing more sponsored posts lately, and I can't tell you how thankful I am for this. My words are always my own, no scripts, and no obligation or cost to you, ever!

Oh how I LOVE LOVE LOVE our hose links! They are AMAZING for sure! We currently have 3 and are buying 2 more along with we want to install a few of the new solar lights. Thank you for showing how easy they are to install because they are truly SO easy and I would never be without one now.

[@HowsItGrowing]

Aren’t they awesome!! I’m so glad you love yours too my friend!! Happy Monday to you!! 💜💜💜

[@kylieky9169]

@@HowsItGrowing We bought the first 3 because of you!

[@dartlanddunbar5842]

I so enjoy all of your videos! As my grandmother would say, "you are just precious". I appreciate all of the gardening talk, but you are the main reason I watch. I'm going back outside to check my cherokee purple tomatoes 🍅. I do this several times a day. I just watch them. 😊🙋‍♀️🌺

I’ve been wanting a HoseLink for so long but thought it would have to be attached to my stucco house. Thanks so much for giving another option! This is definitely my next purchase I want to treat myself!🥰

This was fun and informative. I want a Hoselink for our yard and I am glad to know it doesn't have to be mounted on a post set in concrete! Thank you Laura for another great video!

[@HowsItGrowing]

I’m so glad to help! 💜 thank you for watching!!

[@adz5bneweng589]

Thank you. I just got my first hoselink and I'm going to set it up the way you did. I only need the power planter and a heavy duty drill!

[@DCT14]

Laura, you always make garden products look so easy, but this really seems easy! Even I could do it 😂 This is one I would love to win!

Thanks for showing real life gardening. Much love from Utah 🌸

[@amyschroeder3917]

Thank you for this video! It is perfect timing, I’m just getting ready to install my Hoselink and installing it this way looks way easier than putting in a 4x4 post! Love all your videos!💚

[@HowsItGrowing]

Glad it was helpful! Thank you very much for watching and being so kind!

[@gardengatesopen]

I like seeing you in your everyday garden work togs! It makes me feel like I just popped over to say 👋 hi !

[@MrsJackie1956]

I bought two of them last year and just love them!

[@ElizabethM824]

Great idea to install it to a pipe in the ground. That's super easy! I have wanted a hoselink but didn't want to drill into my siding.

[@RuthyTCorrea]

Thank for the suggestion, as I wasn’t sure how to install mine.

[@lindylou3519]

Thanks Laura! I had no idea they were that easy to install.

[@hoselink]

There's lots of ways to install it, search on KZbin or check our KZbin channel :)

[@dawndawn6946]

Thanks for sharing that! I’ve been hesitant because I didn’t want to have to deal with the installation.💗

[@HowsItGrowing]

Happy to help! It’s so easy this way. 💜

[@loislash2669]

Thank you for sharing your method for mounting the hoselink - it was extremely helpful.

[@HowsItGrowing]

Happy to help Lois! Thank you! 💜

[@rewbew9345]

That’s such a quick install. Keep us updated how it holds up on that pole. My Hoselink is still sitting in its box because I don’t want to dig a hole and concrete it in. So if this holds up, that would be awesome!

[@HowsItGrowing]

It will hold up great! I had it installed like this for about 2 yrs on the other side of my house before I moved it. Same for my parents, going on 2 years. No concrete. I try to avoid that too! 💜

[@rewbew9345]

Great info! I’ll get my pipe this week and get ‘er set up.

[@karenross3457]

This is the third season for mine and it is doing great. I store in the shed over the winter and after each use I use a rag to wipe down the hose as to not get debris in the housing.

[@CamilleDeRosso]

I just installed my hose link and i'm in LOVE!!!

I think I have to have a Hoselink.....you are AMAZING....You go GIRL

[@bishop2b394]

Thank you. We just bought one and it is sitting in the garage. After seeing how easy it is the spouse is going to buy the pipe today. You made it look so easy. God Bless!!!

[@HowsItGrowing]

So easy! If I could do it over, I never would have mounted the first one to the fence. I love that this can be moved around if you change your mind too. Thank you! 💜💜

[@shirleysuther5434]

The Hoselink is in and fantastic. My spouse is thrilled about the new auger that came with the deal. No digging!!!! Thanks again. @@HowsItGrowing

[@amyhoff1501]

I’m a shower Girl myself, have a Hose link since 2020 , the nozzle that came with it sprung a leak this year and I had to replace it , it didn’t last very long . I garden in Western Massachusetts

[@Jenn-RH]

Our hoselink is arriving tomorrow. I am so excited. This video is exactly what I needed for easy install. I’m curious what diameter and length auger did you use to drill the hole. Mine are only 2”x7” and 3”x7” which prob won’t get me the hole I need. Thanks!

[@colson8357]

I would love to have one of these in my garden.

[@pattyvalinote4612]

I just got one it wonderful!!!

[@gardengatesopen]

I also have a hoselink, and it's just fabulous! I have Rheumatoid Arthritis (really bad) and one of the best features of hoselink is that it's made to have the water stay "ON". Which means I don't have to wrestle with turning the faucet on & off anymore!! Woot! Woot!!! That's a big win for me!

[@HowsItGrowing]

Definitely! I feel like this is going to help me so much since I’m just starting to feel arthritis pain. I’m so glad it helps you!!

[@gardengatesopen]

@@HowsItGrowing I'm so sorry it's beginning for you. It can be rough, no matter which kind of arthritis it is. Keeping a good attitude is tough too, but it really is VERY important through the whole journey. You may get discouraged, and that's ok, just don't STAY discouraged. My best advice beyond that is to try all the herbal "tricks". Many actually DO help quite a bit if you give them a good chance. They may not cure it, but they do help, and you'll only be more healthy for consuming them. That and just learning how to do things differently. Hoselink is a step in the right direction too! I've especially liked the swivel piece which attaches between the sprinkler and the end of the hose. With that attachment, I don't have to fight the hose memory, which is quite tight (imo). It truly is a game changer!

[@enolagore4673]

Oh my, I so wish I had a hose link. I’m sure I could install it myself. I’m 76 and have a 100 ft. hose that I pull around my yard. It is in a hose reel box and that is easier than than just a holder. I do not do instagram. Thank you for a great tutorial. I have followed you for a few years now.

[@HowsItGrowing]

Thank you Enola! 💜 I hope to do another giveaway on here next time. If you shop with them they gave me a code “NJ10” to save $10. My parents both in their 70s love this Hoselink. Thank you for being here for so long. I really appreciate you! I hope you’re enjoying a great Summer!!

[@deniseb7013]

Hi Laura. Wondering what yr thoughts are on a couple of items. One is the jardin bird cage do u take it in in the winter like they recommend. I purchased one and I’m not really happy with the quality. How’s it holding up for you. Second is the plow and hearth white benches how are those holding up for you? Thank you I am so enjoying yr videos.

[@Godzilla-mq3cg]

Thank you for this video! Looks so much easier to just hammer a pole into the ground! It looks like the hoselink part goes into the pole. I know you said the pole is 1 inch, but do you happen to know the interior diameter of the pole? Thanks again!

[@janetang8684]

Thank you for your sharing ,nice video 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

[@carolyost6733]

I just got one. I did put mine in concrete since it gets a good pull on it anyway. Each time i use it , the more i like. At first i thought it was a little hard to pull out. I'm a little unsteady on my legs, but when i get to a certain point, i can sit down and just use my upper body strength which is stronger than my lower body. The best feature for me us the rewind. That is so easy for me.

[@mmcreads]

Is the heavy when you’re moving around the garden? I have balance issues and trip over the rubber hose every time I need to pull it to the side or move it from the beds. I want a hose link but nervous that it’ll be the same issue for me at 5x the price lol

[@carolyost6733]

It's mainly pulling it out. But then i don't think it is too bad pulling around. The wind up is amazing!

[@gardengirl6854]

Been wanting one my gardener cut 2 of my hose’s while mowing the lawn it would be so much better to have it up and out of the way plus it would be easier on my back

[@asianangie7209]

Do you find the white color hard to clean or keep white? My house is white but I’m leaning towards the black, mainly fear of soil stains.

[@twinessa13]

Hi! I have a hose link and want to install it the way you showed us. I’ve been to a few stores and don’t see the emy conduit in 1inch as short as yours. Did you have to get yours cut? I’m only finding they have the 1 inch in 10ft lengths or was yours the galvanized pipes in the plumbing area that has threads on both ends? Thanks for you help ! I’ve wanted a hose link for a while but don’t own my home yet and this video gave me the green light to make the purchase!!!!! ❤️☺️

[@HowsItGrowing]

Hi!! You may need to cut it. This wasn’t the threaded pipe, definitely a conduit. I think our Lowes allowed my husband to cut a length right in the store, I’d have to check on that. But it definitely was shortened. I know you will absolutely love the Hoselink! 💜

[@valeriedevereux5912]

I just got and installed my first hose link. I love it, but my backyard is over 240’ deep. The hose is only 100’. Needless to say. I have to add more hose to get to the back of my yard.

[@kylieky9169]

We put in several hose links around the gardens as our property is large also.

[@smedgirl1]

That hoselink looks amazing but I'm really curious...is that a light installed on your fence? Is it solar? I love it.

[@HowsItGrowing]

It is! 😃 Thank you! I installed that through the hollow fence post. It’s electric. I’m always doing something with lighting. I love lights outside. 💜

[@poolmonkey]

Did you consider mounting the hose reel directly to the stucco wall of the house (instead of the in-ground pole mount), or do you feel like that would put too much stress on the stucco?

[@HowsItGrowing]

I would never. Our house is 100 yrs old and this particular stucco (pebble dash) is incredibly hard to find a person to fix it since it’s not done this way today. I had a crack that led to a giant piece falling and the repair was so expensive. I don’t know if newer stucco would be more sound today, but I wouldn’t personally do it.

[@poolmonkey]

@@HowsItGrowing ok thanks!

Can these hose links be installed on houses with vinyl siding?

[@HowsItGrowing]

Yes. I just put up a video yesterday as a matter of fact, installing one into my home with vinyl siding. 😀

[@marthasprague4414]

Hi Laura-is there any way you can share a link to the pipe you bought? I can’t seem to find a 1” on the Home Depot or Lowe’s website. I see a 3/4”, but if I go 1” the price goes crazy and so does the height. It looks like yours is not that tall.

[@HowsItGrowing]

Hi Martha! I’ll definitely check with Marc and get back to you on it. I do know he cut the pipe, and he might have right there in the store. I think they allowed that. I’ll check!

[@donovd3624]

@@HowsItGrowing finally made the purchase to get a hoselink. I have a brick house so mounting it on the brick isn’t really an option as it isn’t a smooth surface. I’m excited to try the steel pole mount. Can’t seem to find that in our box stores. Where did you find yours and what was it called? How goes it hold up without cement. I like that idea as well….. thank you for all your great content!

[@carolyost6733]

Does your hose ever kink on you? Mine does. It is a litt little frustrating !

Not unless it got caught up on something else while I’m pulling it. Sometimes when it’s reeling back up, it does going back in.
