Grow Hose is a biodegrading hose that
you buy on a reel according to what
length of
garden you have.
Inside the hose are a variety of flower
seeds and starter nutrients spaced out
along its length. You can choose from
several different mixtures of colour and
shrubbery.
All you need
do is dig a long trench that
goes in whatever direction takes your
fancy, uncoil your Grow Hose, drop in it,
cover with soil and give it a sprinkle of
water, add a little sun shine, then up
sprouts your linear
garden.

There is a machine out there called a ditch witch that slices lawns while dragging plastic water lines underground behind the blade. It would make short work of running out your grow hose. |

Brilliant, you could offer various hose types for say a vegetable garden: |
|
| |
1. Pee hose
2. carrot hose
3. bean hose
4. etc |
|

Vegetable trousers? Oh! *that* kind of hose! |

Why hose? Why not rope? (Grope?) |
|
| |
//Why hose? Why not rope? // - well if you
can show me how to easily split open a
rope the
way you can a hose, stuff it with seeds
spaced at various intervals, then fill the
gaps with nutrients... besides isn't a grope
already known to exist - heavy duty
version of gstring ? |

Long ago they were selling mats that were preseeded. Just cut it to shape and lay it on the soil and water. I don't know if they are still on the market. |

It would be neat if you could somehow impregnate the outside of a semiporous hose with seeds. Then you could leave one end poking out of the ground with an attacment for a standard garden hose, and you caould water everything by just turning on the water. |
|
| |
Or you could have seed balls on a line - if you used a standard creeper, it would be biodegradable. |

Grope/gstring (ha. Chia Bikini?) - I was thinking that you'd lay out fibers, sprinkle them with seeds, then twist them together. But now that you've explained the hose process, it makes sense, too. |

[admin: I'm holding off on GC's marked-for-deletion call because it took a while for someone to point out the existing product (few people knew about it), and because it is still being sold as a novelty item (the makers think it's not widely known, either) - maybe it's better known in certain geographical areas?] |

Sorry, seed tape has been around forever [marked-for-deletion] widely known. |

"why don't you grow a hose"? I thought this might be a suggestion for one accused of unmanly behavior. |
