9 Clever Reuses for Your Leaky Gardening Hose

Gardening hose starting to leak? Don't throw it out just yet. Cut it up into smaller lengths and slice it open to use the hose as a protective barrier for outdoor electrical cords, or as added grip on a metal paint can handle.

If your home has a very small garage, you can use the gardening hose to make a protective barrier on the wall where the car corners and bumper meet to avoid dinging up your car or garage wall.

And with the approaching holiday season, you can always turn a piece of gardening hose into a loop and use it as a base to make a DIY holiday wreath.
