This is for those of you who under the "Dumbest Place to Plant Something" thread complained about having to fight thorny bushes to get to the hose spigot. I bought one of those extenders for mine and it's great! My spigot was about 6 inches above ground and behind a shrub beneath a window. The extender is about 4-feet long with a spigot attached at one end and a hose thread on the other. It has a cutoff valve and a small spike to drive into the ground out in a spot away from the bushes. It works really well. Bought it through a garden supply catalog.
