The most common hose size is 5⁄8 of an inch in diameter, which works very well with typical municipal water pressure (30 to 50 pounds per square inch). You may have cause to go down to 1⁄2 inch or up to 1 inch — the skinnier one delivers water more slowly; the fatter one, more quickly. Length depends on how far you have to reach the hose. For flexibility, you may want to buy your hose in 25-foot segments rather than longer lengths and just join them together as needed for different areas of the garden. Also, shorter lengths are lighter and thus easier to lug around.
