There are people who can start at one end of a plot and walk out a perfect curve, but I am not one of them, so to lay out the initial semicircle we set the garden hose reels hose in place. The hose was like a thick piece of string that kept its position. Next, my neighbor and I chose the largest stones, each between 14 and 18 inches wide, 18 to 24 inches long, and 3 to 4 inches thick. After laying each stone along the inside curve of the hose, we removed a bit of soil so that the back edge was about an inch lower than the front. That way the rainwater would flow into the bed along the sloping rocks and reach the roots of plants growing along the face of the wall.

The Hose Holder clamps onto the hose (not the nozzle) so any hose attachment or style of nozzle can be held in place by a spring-loaded clamp and aimed in any direction. Tough steel spikes are pushed into the ground by foot and the holder stands 30 inches high. No stooping is necessary, and it holds the hose as long as you need it.
