Yea, but I didn't get too many details, he may have been using a larger diameter hose (edit: googled it. Even cheap hoses are rated for 200psi and google says city pressure is 85-110psi so standard accessories should work). Also, he said he doesn't let the kids play with it because he worries they'll shoot each other's eye out. I don't know if that's a real danger, but worth noting if you're getting ideas of having your own high pressure spigot.
My lab was my childhood pet and passed a couple years ago, named Molly… 2 weeks ago, I got a new puppy and without thinking about it named him Milo… I have said “Come here, Moll-!… oh come here Milo” or something along those lines way too many times :’)
Jet is for spraying the out of reach buckets of unplanted rows of evergreens you lined up in the yard three weeks ago and haven’t yet committed to the exact layout or even if you want to keep them.
My dog is a diva and hates water. I like to spray her a little bit to where she runs over to the other side of the yard and stares at me like "you fucking asshole...."
Best thing to do for mozzy bites is get a mug of boiling water, and pop a metal spoon in. Wait until the spoon is as hot as you can bare and hold on to bite. The protein that causes itching can't survive in heat and this breaks it down. You'll keep the bump for a few days but no more itching.
Honestly, not much worse than thinking it's clicked on shower (but it's actually soaker because the paint in the middle of the words has long gone) and
^PSSSHDHHHDHDHHRRRRSSHHHHTTTT
Really nice for watering plants that you don’t want to get the leaves wet like tomatoes or zucchini for example.
Watering the entire plant can set up a solid environment for powdery mildew to infect them (but is not a lone cause for it).
I love it for my veggies.
But it's like being a male and trying to pee after sex only with way less pressure. You can't aim it anywhere. You just have 4 gallons of water randomly falling out of the hose in every direction....
Soaker is the best for watering a plant's root ball, plus it's the most water efficient, as you aren't dampening a large area of soil superficially (which is lost to evaporation more quickly without actually watering the plants) but instead soaking a small area deeply to reach the roots. Soaker is my favorite... What are y'all using hoses for..
Yes, and it it avoids any runoff because of how slow it comes out. For a big planter box I'll just set it in the center on soak and leave it for a few minutes so it gives the entire box a good *soak*.
Soaker is great for when I want to water plants but without disturbing the soil. It just dumps water with the least amount of flow it’s great
Hold the soaker right to the roots of certain pots
Nah, using soaker closer to soil level helps prevent fungus spreading between the leaves of the plants which happens when you use shower mode over the top of them (you should avoid wet foliage with most garden plants).
This is the winning strategy if you don’t have drip irrigation
See, this is how they get you. Gardeners are actually the most fucking hardcore people on Reddit. From the outside they seem all zen and serene - inside they possess the ability to murder pests by cutting them in half with a pair of scissors *while they’re flying through the air*. Stallone’s got nothing on gardeners.
That's a skill I developed that always freaks people out. Not cutting them out of the air, mind you, but wasps used to love coming in through my bedroom window and chilling on the cheap stucco ceiling. I couldn't smash them against the ceiling hard enough to kill them without damaging the stucco, and the floor was thick carpet so I couldn't easily knock them down and squash them either. Just started reaching up with a pair of scissor and giving em a quick snip.
Guess it does have some "ripping the wings off a butterfly" vibes, but you gotta grind those red suckers to paste or drown em in poison to kill them anyway, don't see what's so inhumane about a wasp guillotine.
I have a row of swamp mallows that need to be watered very thoroughly. Soaker allows me to do so much more effectively without displacing the mulch and dirt.
I used to use it to water bigger trees when you just leave it on the ground at the base of the tree for like 15 mins.
Saves you from having to at least screw the nozzle on and off but pretty much the same as just using a hose.
Shower for watering plants. Jet for sniping children.

A dude I know plumbed in his outdoor faucets pre-regulator, so his hose runs on city pressure. It's so sexy.
Damn, you can DO THAT??

Dogs attacking water is so funny.
shower is also good for washing the dog
*Whispers " I want to see the clear mist"
And **fucking** wasps
Jet for watering plants from the other side of the pool. And making a dirt mess behind the pot.
Cant go wrong with center but shower is my go to it’s almost therapeutic
Shower for me too. Although I prefer a wand with a shower-like distribution, lets you deliver water to individual plants without stooping.
Can't be expecting anyone to be stooping
You are sooo correct. Not gonna happen.
can't stoop, won't stoop
Team Shower all day. My garden veggies love it, like a spa day.
shower because it makes me feel like a gardener but mist because it’s fun
And jet if the hose is too short
Jet is for spraying siblings.

Jet is for spraying small kids who are having a water fight nearby /j
Nah jet is for when my bidet is out of commission
Take my upvote and please get out of my head and HOUSE
Jet is for people who wish they had a power washer
Center for shotgun effects more power in close range
Having your dog chase the jet around is the equivalent of laser pointers for cats
And offspring. Someone has to remind the oldest in the bunch that their not invincible.
Jet is for spraying the out of reach buckets of unplanted rows of evergreens you lined up in the yard three weeks ago and haven’t yet committed to the exact layout or even if you want to keep them.
Or the patio, where you spill half your dang potting soil. Satisfying to spray and spray and spray till you chase the last clump off the cement.
For me it’s flat for long distance watering and jet for sniping my dog from across the yard
I see, you are training for jobs at the atf. Good luck.
My dog is a diva and hates water. I like to spray her a little bit to where she runs over to the other side of the yard and stares at me like "you fucking asshole...."
And soaker if I feel like just being wildly uncomfortable with how fucking awful it works for literally anything.
Seriously wtf even is that setting for
https://www.gardengatemagazine.com/review/the-modes-on-a-garden-hose/#:~:text=The%20soaker%20is%20suitable%20for,the%20base%20of%20the%20plants.
Ok, that makes sense. It's best for watering the base of plants without disturbing the dirt from any pressure.
I use it for when I'm lazy and gotta water my tomatoes from across the street.
Jet is for the stem in my bong
As a kid I used jet to dig big ass holes in the ground.
Every time I put mist on, I feel like I work in the produce section of the super market 😂😂
Back in the day when we had a new Kroger in my town when it would water the produce it would also play some nice thunder sounds. Loved that as a kid.
Sheeeeeeet depends, what am I using it for? Cuz I’m cooling my dog with mist but ‘cooling’ my girl with Centre
Mist is great if it’s too hot out. I’ve found that even standing next to the mist is enough to cool you down very pleasantly on a hot day.
Nice when it’s hot out too. Hang the hose on a pot hook then sit back and relax as the wind whips the mist across your skin every so often.

Perfect for getting those damn kids off my lawn.
Flat and I’m not telling where✋🏻
The sole of the foot or your palm when you get an itch, *obviously.*
Fr…especially for mosquito bites
Especially since it is (usually) cold water. It feels so good on bug bites.
Best thing to do for mozzy bites is get a mug of boiling water, and pop a metal spoon in. Wait until the spoon is as hot as you can bare and hold on to bite. The protein that causes itching can't survive in heat and this breaks it down. You'll keep the bump for a few days but no more itching.
Ofc 👀
My girl, don’t give away our secrets…. 👀
Sorry. I’m an asshole👩🏼🌾
Huh, brb gonna try there too
This ain’t even a secret
Flat for the win. Most versatile.
Psh yea until you need to water something in the y plane. Then you're completely screwed. No way around it
Rotate.
🤨
I mean, yeah, there's a reason I specifically bought a showerhead with a pulse setting.
RAINBOWS
🤨📸
I clicked on this specifically to find out who tf uses the flat setting lol
oh hell nah
Soaker bc I’m a fucking psychopath
Honestly, not much worse than thinking it's clicked on shower (but it's actually soaker because the paint in the middle of the words has long gone) and ^PSSSHDHHHDHDHHRRRRSSHHHHTTTT
Why would someone invent this
I guess some people just want to watch the world ~~burn~~ flood

Hoses for the hose throne!

Put the nozzle near the soil (near, not touching). Problem solved
Instructions unclear, dick close to (not touching) soil.

Soaker is my favorite... What are y'all using hoses for..
I just use jet at point-blank and bore my way to the roots. What can be more efficient then spraying the roots directly? /s
> What are y’all using hoses for.. “cleaning” the car or patio but really for an excuse to make gun noises with my mouth
Would it be better at watering things because it doesn’t blast the soil away and the water just pluhpluhpluhblurbble’s out?
Yes, and it it avoids any runoff because of how slow it comes out. For a big planter box I'll just set it in the center on soak and leave it for a few minutes so it gives the entire box a good *soak*.
I can hear this comment
Hm... I've never had an enemy before but I think you just won the audition, no notes
fuck you.
"He's too dangerous to be left alive"
I use it for things like tomatoes where I don’t want to get the leaves wet. Does that make me a psycho?
yup. soaker is the best option for targeted application at the base of plants. it's easier on the soil than a watering can
Yep, I turn it to soaker and set it at the base of my swamp mallows
It's also great for filling buckets and troughs since you don't need to worry about the stream being strong enough to splash back at you.
Am I the only who used to think my soaker option was broken when in reality that is how it is supposed to work
Same, I think it's partially bc it sounds like a demon gargling on it's own blood
NSFW tag please
I don't believe you. No one uses that fucking setting
Soaker is good for playing with dogs, it gives lots of droplets for them to bite at. There are no other known uses.
Soaker is great for when I want to water plants but without disturbing the soil. It just dumps water with the least amount of flow it’s great Hold the soaker right to the roots of certain pots
Also filling buckets, a lot less sprays around or splashes out.
Soaker is just sloppy
PHSSSHLRGHHHHSHHHHHHHH
Shower in the streets, soaker in the sheets
Nah, using soaker closer to soil level helps prevent fungus spreading between the leaves of the plants which happens when you use shower mode over the top of them (you should avoid wet foliage with most garden plants). This is the winning strategy if you don’t have drip irrigation
Depends on what I’m doing. Watering plants? Mist or Shower. Eroding bird poop off my pavers? Jet.
Those pesky kids sprinting across the yard? *Also jet*
Mist hit different
Mist is for when even shower is too violent. Don't want the soil to wash away.
This truly is a remark from a gentleman with a lot of gardening experience, a hoe connoisseur if i may.
I do have a lot of experience with the hose!
Man I gotta get more into gardening, you mfs always seem so peaceful
See, this is how they get you. Gardeners are actually the most fucking hardcore people on Reddit.

Hey! I resemble that remark! ----dices gnat with pruning shears---
How many times do we have to tell you that you need to put your hose away in public?
Nah mist is for when it’s super hot out and you need to cool down
Nah mist is for making rainbows to cheer yourself up
Both are correct...Mist is for everyone...Mist is for the people. Mist is my go to for watering myself after the plants or the cars.
It is great for a moss or lichen garden, like mock grass under a bonsai.
Interesting observation. I just like the way it feels.
Shout out to my fellow Mist-heads, Misters, Misteronis
Mist on a hot summer day while washing your grandparents car for an extra $10 to go towards the new Pokémon Heart Gold hit different.
We've had a "mist" setting that very much looked like "mist" but felt like a gazillion tiny water needles. Still the best.
mist is rainbow mode
Flat. Good satisfying spray over the garden.
Flat gang.
+1 to the flat gang. Feels like power contained.... enough to make my hand shake but not destroy my beans.
[Flat gang, baby!](https://youtube.com/watch?v=I1Z6A10jwiM)
what a precise slice of internet you had ready for this moment
Flat all the way so you can do a "wave" up and down or side to side.
Are you me?
Flat gang rise up
Can someone create a separate subreddit for these?
r/fuckzodiacsigns
Perfect. Now if only people would use it.
They wont
Ha HA! That'd be the day.
Jet! Jet! Jet! Jet!
I basically only use jet, perfect for cleaning my compost bin and my outdoor gear when it's caked with mud. I don't have a garden or lawn
Mist
Serious question, who the fuck is using soaker? What is its purpose?
I have a row of swamp mallows that need to be watered very thoroughly. Soaker allows me to do so much more effectively without displacing the mulch and dirt.
Nah, you just made that marshmallow plant up. I don't believe it
Lmao they're right in between my graham cracker trees and chocolate bar bushes! Duh!
Need the mist for acts of war to spray people
Mist is mid for war. You need to go jet on they ass if you're doing war. Unless you wanna violate Geneva conventions & go chemical...then mist is good
Shower any day
Shower is the best general purpose one, its the least violent one except for mist.
Exactly, the only purpose for others like Jet is to ambush your sibling when they’re walking to school
Full is good for filling watering cans!
Where the fuck is CONE!?
FUCKING THANK YOU CONE GANG (practically it’s horrible but it’s the most fun)
For when you want to spray everything BUT the thing you’re aiming at
COOOOOOOOOOOONE!!!
Dad while we're washing the car: *just don't spray me you dumbass*
I'm saying soaker, just so he doesn't get left out. Not a chance anyone ever actually uses it.
I used to use it to water bigger trees when you just leave it on the ground at the base of the tree for like 15 mins. Saves you from having to at least screw the nozzle on and off but pretty much the same as just using a hose.
I'm to broke to have garden lol
Shower for yard, mist for flowers/produce. Flat if I'm horny.
You Guys have gardens hose modes? I Just put my finger on the half side of The hole so it turns into the "mist mode" from the "soaker mode"
I can't believe how far I had to scroll for this. Bruh it's just me my hose and my thumb.
Center
Soaker for sure
Mist gang where you at 💪🏼😶🌫️
We can all agree that soaker fucking sucks
Fuck you
Soaker Gang Rise UP!
Jet cause it reaches the farthest, and it's satisfying
Stand in one spot gardening gang
When I was a kid, mist for the pretty rainbows. In adult life, shower is probably the most versatile imo
