Long Beach Community Garden Association, Inc. Rules and Regulations Hose Replacement The policy for hose replacement is that the plots that share the hose, share the cost of a new hose.  It is suggested that you purchase a Sears rubber hose, a 50 foot only, as a longer hose would break the hose holder.  The Sears hose has a lifetime guarantee and if leaks/breaks or whatever, cut off both ends and take to any Sears store for a full replacement.
