Add A Touch Of Class With A Garden Hose Pot

Each and every spring, homeowners will pull out the trusty old garden hose to use throughout another long summer. It is definitely one piece of equipment that any green yard or garden cannot do without.

The problem that arises in many cases is: just where do you store your 50 or 100 foot hose?

Those that are organized and respect the investment they have made in this trusty spring and summer device will probably have a sturdy hose reel placed next to the house so that it can be stored easily between uses.

For those that are looking for a more decorative method for storage, consider investing in a garden hose pot.

When researching the kinds of hose pots that are available commercially, you most likely will find that they can be made from a variety of materials. Copper garden hose pots are popular, but many cheaper models today are made of weather resistant fiberglass.

A good hose pot can usually store more than 100 feet of hose. On the side of the unit is a hole, which allows for a continuous connection to a faucet or spigot.

Like the garden hose reel, the garden hose pot sits on the ground, and can be partially hidden if so desired. They are especially useful for those homeowners that have an outdoor pool.

There are many varieties of pots available today. It is important to choose one that fits the outside look of your home.

For example, brick homeowners can easily choose a boldly colored one, such as burgundy or blue to compliment the outside appearance of their home.

Other models are made of decorative stonework or terra cotta to give the home or pool area a more classy or traditional look. If ceramic is your favorite, you'll have no problem finding a ceramic hose pot in many colors to match that will match the exterior of your home.

Surprise your neighbors this year and add a touch of class to your home this summer by storing your hose in a garden hose pot.

how does one use a ceramic tea pot?

They are gorgeous, was thinking of buying, but it said I couldnt use it on the stove top? Does that mean I have to boil the water in a seperate container, then pour the hot water into the ceramic one??

If so, what is the purpose of that? Sounds like a waste of time if it is beautiful, but not functional... Or do I have it all wrong?

Tea is never made on the stove top.

You need to boil water in a kettle. When it's close to the boil, pour some into the pot, swirl it around (that's called hotting the pot), and dump it. Then put in your tea bags or leaves, and the boiling water. Let it steep, then remove the bags. If you use leaves, strain the tea into the cups.

If what you bought is what's commonly called a "Brown Betty", a brown ceramic teapot, then what you've bought is the best that there is in the western world in which to brew tea. In fact, when tea is served in the fanciest of silver tea sets, it's been brewed in a brown betty. That's because of the way that they hold the heat.
