I was under the impression that duct tape can solve the world's problems - it can hold a bumper to a car and close a wound in a desperate situation, so of course it should solve the problem of a slice in a garden hose, right?
Not so fast. It lasts for about 3.2 seconds before the water still managed to come out!
I know it's a lousy photo (waiting on the new camera), but can you see the big spray coming out still? lol
I guess the grass will be staying a few nice shade of tan for awhile longer! On the bright side, I managed to angle the new "sprinkler" towards my little planter in the yard, so at least those were watered tonight. ;) I guess a new garden hose is on my shopping list!

Mini Poem: HOSE DOWN THE DUCT TAPE
Put a new garden hose on the shopping list,
because Duct tape doesn't hold like a fist.
The grass is looking too dry,
but I had to give the all famous Duct Tape a try.
The spray of water that shot out after minute or three point two-
helped water my little planter so why am I blue?
Because Duct Tape is no longer a famous gray
and now I need Calgon to take me away or maybe I can just forget today.
Oh my gosh, you just made me spit soda everywhere! LOL!!! I bow to your awesomeness! :)
lol. After the bubble bath, maybe do a Google search. There are ways to repair hoses that might cost less than a new one, if you have the time and patience. Maybe if you buy the right tape, you can cut out the section that has a hole and join the ends with the tape.
Good luck with the hose and hopefully you can figure something out instead of buying a new garden hose. That darn duct tape!!!

Our hose has duct tape too. It makes for a great sprinkler, LOL.
Duct Tape has 1000andone uses than the product of which it was named for.
PLU!
Hilarious! I've SO done the same thing! I've also tried black electrical tape. That didn't work either. I finally found that if you put a dab of bathroom caulk or, even better, marine sealant (it comes in a tube like glue). Let that dry, then add the trusty duct tape. It works! And a tube of marine sealant will go a long way compared to replacing your hoses!
Good luck!
