  • Patent number: 4779800
    Abstract: An above-ground watering system for a lawn or garden plot is disclosed. The two ends of a length of flexible transparent PVC hose are connected to opposite ends of a poly fitting. The center tap of the poly fitting connects via a reducer to a garden hose connector. The transparent hose is perforated at intervals along its length, and stakes are used adjacent the perforations to hold the hose in place on the ground. When water is introduced from a standard garden hose which is connected to the hose connector, the water passes through the reducer and the fitting to enter the two ends of the transparent hose. Water exits the transparent hose via the perforations. The stakes comprises loops which securely grip the hose to hold the adjacent perforations in desired orientations to secure the desired spraying pattern of coverage for the plot.
