At the community garden that I'm part of, last year, we bought what we called, "an investment hose" it was a durable, good quality hose, more expensive than any other hose we've ever bought. It was supposed to last us for years. But for some reason, it's gone missing. The person that removed our hose removed the sprayer and left it for us.
The person that stole our hose certainly had good taste, because they stole our expensive, good hose!
I'm not sure what to make of this. We've never had a hose stolen before. People pick our produce, try to walk out with our tools, someone tried to once plant a tree in the middle of the path. People do weird things in our garden. But the hose being stolen is a first. It's upsetting, but mostly inconvenient.
Don’t forget the garish paint.
You’ll want whomever steals the new hose to be very self conscious when they use it.
It needs to draw the attention of family or housemates to ask the thief where TF did they get such a fucked up looking hose from.
Noted. I know for a fact one gardener has access to random colored paints. It will go in the group email with the other idea. Thank you for the follow up.
