Gary Pilarchik (The Rusted Garden) Thank you. I’m going to start buying plants in my home.

GENIUS! this is exactly what i needed in order to give my dog a proper warm shower outside! THANK YOU!

[@mikeellis3333]

Lol, just shovel off your deck and de-ice what’s left next time, will take a lot less time. But nonetheless, you answered my question about whether I can connect a water hose to my kitchen sink, so thanks!

[@nightshirt_with_socks]

Yeah I really don't understand why he didn't just shovel it first LOL!

[@holdencoffman6930]

YES.

[@kimaraskutekreations6492]

I want to thank you for my garden hose hook up. Because I was literally filling up gallon milk jugs to water my garden, but I watched this video & I went to Lowe's and got that piece. Its a great temporary solution until I get my sprout on the outside of my home fix.

[@kristenh7897]

+OurKuteKrafts My situation exactly (took me an hour to water my plants by watering can).

[@babyd755]

Answered my question within the first 1:10. Thank you!!!

[@jus4funtim]

Hey Gary, this maybe too late now but, if your water heater is easy to access there will be a hose bib valve at the bottom of the tank. If you use that for hot water you will also be flushing out the water heater of any sediment and make the water heater work more efficiently. and you'll have a lot better flow.

[@THERUSTEDGARDEN]

***** I would have to learn what that is but it is in the basement and I would need 3xs as much hose. Super hot water though.

[@jus4funtim]

You would recognize the valve' Its the same as a hose bib fitting outside your house, they put one at the bottom of the water tank to flush or drain the tank if it goes bad- lot easier to move an empty tank.

[@eveny119]

***** Question for you? Do you have to turn off gas before or relight pilot light afterwards, or can you drain it while still running? Ive been wanted to drain w.h. but I know it is hard to relight (due to plumber having a hard time doing it in past) ?

[@jus4funtim]

You don't need to drain the tank unless you are going to replace it, in which case you would shut the gas off and disconnect all the plumbing. If you want to flush the tank leave everything the way it is, connect a hose to the hose bib fitting and open the valve, be careful not to force the valve if the tank is old, work it back and forth . watch the end of the hose and when the water runs clear turn the valve off. P.S. some times you need to open and close the valve a couple of times to clear out any rust or sand in the valve seat.

[@eveny119]

***** Thanks, when I bought the house the inspector told me to flush the tank out once in a while, but I didn't know if I needed a plumber so I never did.

[@TheMandyM]

my goodness..... THAT is dedication Gary. lol. I am originally from the northeast, but so glad I live in southern Cali now. If I feel homesick, I will just watch this video again and be instantly cured. Good job on everything, it is exciting to see how each year you learn and do better than the year before. I will surly be donating again to The Rusted Garden.

[@TheMandyM]

[@pacificocean7361]

Mandy Mascol I live in California too, and if I were you I don't think I would miss that either

[@scott98390]

ALWAYS keep a loop of hose in the sink - if you run it right off the faucet like that, any leaks or drips run right down onto the floor.

[@kristenh7897]

+Scott Baker THANKS for the warning!

[@scott98390]

Kristen H Made that mistake myself... but only once. :-)

[@Avant_gardens]

so

[@Lacroix999]

That would be called a drip line

[@kevinboettler7342]

I just bought one of these today then stumbled apon this video I'm going to use it to water my garden next year sence I don't have a outside faucet

[@moderntheurgist]

Thank you for the video. I was looking for such a method of faucet extension to water my plant . Thanks so much. It's a wonderful video and I am glad you are showing it to the world.

[@THERUSTEDGARDEN]

Glad to help.

[@eveny119]

I'm amazed the greens survived. FYI:We in upstate NY hit below 0 most nights, its been a very hard frozen Feb.... frozen pipes, neighbors had no water for past week, I had a flooded basement, other neighbor had 1 foot thick of ice on roof that leaks during sunshine melt...If Phil* is right, it will hopefully warm up and stay that way soon. I haven't even started planting my transplants. But Im going to be listening to all your videos to get me motivated! Happy Daylight savings!

[@THERUSTEDGARDEN]

eveny119 That flooded basement is terrible. The warmth has to be around the corner.

[@David-fv7zg]

Hi Gary Have you ever tried a flame weeder? You can get them at harbor freight for a few dollars. There is little concern of actually burning anything (deck) just waving the flame over the ice melts it rather quickly and you don't have to run hot water for 2 hours. Just a thought, I have used this many times up here on my side of the Mason-Dixon line, its fast and easy. I'm getting a serious itch to start growing something outdoors, I have micro greens running inside now and will start indoor transplants soon as well. Thanks again for sharing.

[@ayannajones3630]

Thank you so much. Doggy bath time. No more soaking wet bathroom lol.

[@Sanhiriyan]

Planning to use the hose from the basement laundry to wash the car in the winter. I am not sure if it is safe though since laundry is in the same room as the boiler and furnace. Will need a minimum of 100 ft hose. What do you think?

[@THERUSTEDGARDEN]

That seems like the pressure would be too low for the faucet. But I don't know.

Great idea with the bubble wrap, I have 2 of those mini greenhouses, I will do what you suggest this weekend. We supposed to have nights in the low to mid 30's, the cold weather starts should survive the nights.

[@THERUSTEDGARDEN]

Domenico Giammona I makes a difference. I laugh sometimes because it is like years later the idea dawns on me... I am like why didnt I do this sooner.

[@eveny119]

Gary ps. Try a heat gun, the type painters use to remove old paint.

!!! SOLDIER ON ICE WARRIOR !!! Let the Spring games begin !!!!

[@THERUSTEDGARDEN]

Jennifer Lord They have begun!

[@2409forus]

:o ...and don't look back! Have you checked out the 8x8 PARAM greenhouse from Sam's Club? It's on sale, and I just know you'd love it! It has survived 2 snow/ice storms over 5 " each and more than 1/2 dozen 40+ mph wind events! In ours, there are 4 modified greenhouse frames (like the one on your deck) a 3ft long plastic shelf for stuff and two small chairs! Check it out! (I'd send you a picture, but I don't know how to...never claimed intellect...)

[@theplumber33]

Make sure the hook a backflow preventer to that faucet. the garden hose can harbor millions of bacteria that can back feed into your drinking water system inside the house. code dictates that if a garden hose is connected to a house it needs a backflow installed at point of connection . Most hose bibs are equipped with it if not then there is a threat on device that you can install. a kitchen faucet does not come with one on the spout. If you have a hand sprayer it has a backflow in it. awesome idea just want to make sure everyone stay safe.

[@THERUSTEDGARDEN]

Thanks.

[@kristenh7897]

+theplumber33 THANKS for the warning. I hope a backflow preventer for a kitchen faucet is something that's easy to find at the hardware store.

[@theplumber33]

Yes it is should be in the plumbing section around the hose bibs

[@jillishock]

Couldn’t you just run your sink water for a min after you finish?

[@jltuchintime9244]

Cold water would work better, it takes less energy to get snow/ice to melting point. This is why you use cold water baths to thaw frozen meats or a whole turkey. Also, you could have shoveled 90% of that snow off the deck in a few minutes and melted the bottom layer of snow/ice with the hose. Thanks for the video!

I definitely needed to see your instruction on the faucet-garden hose adaptation, but because I rent the place where I live, I don't want to remove the tip of my kitchen faucet and risk having problems with it later on. Have you ever tried using any other kind of adapters that screw right onto the faucet without removing the tip?

I would just shovel. That seems like a tremendous waste of water. My water bill is high enough.

[@THERUSTEDGARDEN]

Shovel damages the wood when frozen

[@lmb2333]

@@THERUSTEDGARDEN Not the plastic ones. You also don't have to scrape a shovel all the way down to the wood. Just don't use the sharp metal shovels and use a lighter hand and you should be fine. Like I said, our water around here is sky high: I could not afford to use this technique.

[@petedesv]

And electricity or gas to heat up the water!!!

[@fareshajjar1208]

Cheapskate. Maybe you are too poor to go on KZbin.

In looking closely at the pictures it appears you must have bought two (2) adapters...One for the faucet and one for your hose. Is that correct? Oh Pooh, I went to Amazon and could not find one of these and then I noticed all your products were for 2015! Sorry, but I will try HomeDepot.

I have tried this but wanted to add that folks might consider the global warming footprint of using your water heater as a snow melt, especially if you have an electric water heater. Also, don't hit your car with it - it can break the windshield glass from the heat shock, etc. And of course, you should assume the faucet is male/female from appearance without asking...
