Drinking Water Safe Garden Hoses for Organic Gardens
If you are gardening with a hose that is filled with lead and BPA – a standard American garden hose by the way – then how can you grow organic vegetables in your garden? Your veg is being sprayed with the chemicals that come out of a drinking hose. If you need to water your garden, drinking water safe hose use is the way to go to prevent heavier chemical absorption by your flowers, herbs, and vegetables.

Summer has become a time when I am focused on what foods I am consuming because I often wonder what specific chemicals might cause a reaction in my body. After my osteoarthritis diagnosis I have noticed that certain chemicals trigger a pain reaction, preservatives for instance. With this in mind, my goal has become focused on lessening my chemical exposure. Watering my garden with a drinking water safe hose is a smart plan for an organic garden as it brings the plants one step closer to healthy for you and your family.
Originally I learned about Flexzilla® Garden Hoses at an event at P. Allen Smith’s in Arkansas. The hoses are drinking water safe and are engineered with a lightweight Flexible Hybrid Polymer to lie flat and eliminate kinking under pressure. Above you see my Gronomics Elevated Beds and the Flexzilla Green hose resting on a hose stand from Liberty Garden Products in my back garden. These hoses are flexible making it easy to maneuver around trees, bushes or other obstacles and, most importantly, making your drinking water safe hose good to sip water from or water your edibles in the garden.
