The Relaxed Gardener 8 Pattern Hose Nozzle

After using The Relaxed Gardener Watering Wand - 15 inch Hose Nozzle with 8 Adjustable Spray Patterns and One Touch Shutoff Valve - Multipurpose - Water Hanging Baskets, Plants, Flowers, Shrubs, Garden and Lawn, I wondered if the company also made a nozzle version. They do, and I like this pint-sized tool just as much. Both use easy thumb operation to control water pressure flow, and that’s a big reason why I like them.

The first thing to go on nozzles is usually the trigger-style handle. Because these operate differently, I’m hoping this won’t happen. Besides that, I just prefer using my thumb for water control. The levers on both work smoothly and easily. This nozzle has all the typical spray patterns, but I use the shower mode most often. Compared to other nozzles, this one seems to cover a smaller area but has stronger water flow in that pattern setting. It works very well with potted plants that have different water requirements. Opened fully, the shower setting gives them a good drenching, but the thumb lever can take it down to a trickle in a second.

Many garden nozzles now offer spray patterns in picture form. Most are easy to figure out, but some pictures have me stumped… until I actually try the setting and learn the hard way it’s not what I wanted. The Relaxed Gardener doesn’t play guessing games—I know which setting I’m using or looking for just by reading basic words, and they click into place perfectly. This nozzle connects easily with all ¾” hoses and doesn’t leak.

Mine came at a discount, but the current price for this nozzle seems reasonable. Included is a picture of the Relaxed Gardener nozzle centered between two type nozzles I won’t buy anymore—trigger-handled and picture-patterned ones.
