We have those splitters and they are a help indeed. The hose reels would be great, but after reading missingrosie's post, I'd be worried about snakes. It sure would make things look better as it is too tempting to leave the hoses lying out rather than winding them up again by hand. We have hose bibs in two locations and one of those fan-type wands that Gita mentioned and also those nozzles. Nothing seems to really hold up over time.

Gita, you must have more thumb dexterity than I do. I'm sure I would pop one of the 6-pack seedlings right out if I tried watering that way. I've done it for the in-the-ground plants when one of the nozzles goes missing, but my thumb goes numb pretty quickly.
