I cut up some of my old hoses into short lengths, like 15-20 feet. That calls for a lot of "hose repair" kits, and they vary widely in quality.
Then I attach those short lengths to some 3/4" and 1/2" "irrigation mainline" that I've run around my yard, using Tee fittings and also Y-shaped hose fittings with two valves each. Those can be plastic, pot metal or brass, from $2.50 to $10 each.
3/4" black PVC mainline
1/2" black PVC branch
short length of cut-up garden hose.
compression Tee fitting, black plastic
brass 2-valve "Y"
EZ-LOC 1/'2" hose thread fitting
hose-end-repair kit
Then I put a hand-sprayer on each short length of hose. That lets me spot-hand-water anyplace, with only a few steps to get to the nearest hose length.
Now I NEVER have to drag a hose ANYWHERE, and I have irrigation mainline wherever I want to add a sprayer, spinner, "Shrubbler" or dripline.
