Support

• You can stabilize a short, young tree using an old garden hose. The hose is strong enough to keep the young tree erect until it can support itself.
  
  

Unclog

• Often debris and leaves clog the gutters. You can use the garden hose for poking through a blocked gutter.
  
  

Capture Insects

• You can use the hose for capturing pesky earwigs. Cut the old house into 6-inch pieces and put these hose segments where you usually find earwigs. Leave these segments overnight, and in the morning, you will find the hoses filled with insects.
  
  

Grip

• You can use the garden hose for making a bucket or a can grip. Cut the hose from the middle and encase the can handle.
  
  

Safety

• Using an old garden hose, you can ensure swing safety for your children. Cut the garden hose from the middle and encase the swing set chains with it. Close the hose using duct tape.
