15.  Store Your Hose in the Shade

While the sun is essential for your garden’s vitality, it can have detrimental effects on the lifespan of your hose. To prevent frequent hose replacements and unnecessary expenses, it is advisable to store it in a location away from direct sunlight, such as the garage or a shaded area in the backyard. Moreover, keeping the hose out of the sun also reduces the risk of chemical leaching caused by the sun’s heat. If these reasons haven’t convinced you yet, they should be compelling enough to take appropriate action.
