    Last week I posted about this neat water bag that fits in your wheelbarrow for those places that the hose just won't reach. One problem I faced with it was the bag would flop out when you tipped out the last of the water. In my warped little mind, I knew what it needed.

    Suspenders! I actually remembered seeing a pair of my dad's old suspenders tucked away. Did they work?? NOPE!
    :-D
    So next best thing... one of the most handiest inventions ever. Bungee Cord!

    And just to prove that it doesn't flop out... the ultimate test!

    Thanks everyone. It even cut down my watering time even further. And when something needs fixing... all you really need to have on hand or either Bungee Cords or Duct Tape! :D

    Well thought out Cheryl! I like the way your mind works. :stew1: We've always got bungee cords, duct tape and WD-40 in the house.

    Oh and other thing it helps with. Once the water level reached the cord...that's just enough for me to handle without any difficulty.

    Time passes and new items become the universal 'fixer-upers.' Before Bungee cords and duct tape there was baling wire, still carry a piece in the trunk of my car.
