“Have you ever heard that there is nothing like a good rain for your garden? The reason this is true is that raindrops pick up an abundance of oxygen as they fall from the sky. The Mark's Choice Oxy-Bubbler is very much like rain and it's the closest thing to a miracle for your plants that I have ever seen. The Oxy-Bubbler is a water and that delivers an abundance of oxygen to the root zone, uses 30% less water than regular water breakers and reduces the use fertilizers by enhancing their efficacy. The benefits of delivering oxygen to the roots of ALL plants cannot be overstated. And the Mark's Choice Oxy-Bubbler provides the perfect method of delivering that oxygen-rich water. All your plants will love it."

"Water without waste!
Everywhere that I travel in Canada I am asked questions about the environment. Seems that most gardeners today are interested in a gorgeous garden (nothing new about that) that is beneficial to Mother Earth.
Water conservation is a frequent topic in this regard. The answer to applying water without waste? The new Mark's Choice flat weeper hose. It is compact, heavy duty and it delivers water where it is needed the most - at the root zone of your plants! Perfect for a newly planted hedge, a row of tomatoes, zig-zagged through your veggie garden or perennial border. Wherever you want water to seep down to the roots of young or newly planted plants.
It is made of a heavy duty, quality synthetic material that will withstand up to 40 pounds of pressure, while 'bleeding' water drops on the ground or buried under 2 or 3 cm of mulch or soil.
Use less water and use it more effectively!"

“If you are a low maintenance gardener, a vegetable gardener or if you have plants around the foundation of your home, this is THE product for you. Using recycled rubber as the primary ingredient in this soaker hose, you can gently get water to where it is needed most – the root zone! The plants around the foundation of your home miss much of the rain that gets caught in the gutter of your roof – Mark’s Choice soaker hose solves the problem. If you enjoy taking long vacations [over a week or two?] each summer – this hose satisfies the watering needs of your garden while you are away. If you enjoy growing vegetables, this hose offers an excellent water delivery system directly to the root zone even during drought conditions. Newly planted trees, shrubs and evergreens benefit from the use the Mark’s Choice soaker hose for the first three years of their life in your garden. In forth year, when roots are sufficiently deep enough to take care of themselves, I suggest that you move your soaker hose to another location. The Mark’s Choice soaker hose is superior quality; we use a top of the line brass fitting and only the best quality combination virgin and recycled [65%] rubber. Available in 25' and 50' lengths.

“Nothing annoys me more than a kinky hose. I know how that sounds… but I am not trying to be funny! I do not love hand watering … I no sooner get out there with the hose in my hand and I begin thinking of all of the other things that I would rather be doing. So to have the hose ‘knot up’ or kink on me while I am pulling it through the garden is the ultimate frustration to a less-than-favourite-job. The answer is a wonderful; Canadian designed and made hose that is designed to make the job of watering a pleasure. We have used the very best quality brass fittings, a re-enforced leader [so the hose will not kink at the facet] and a patented, reinforced hose that uses the latest in anti-kink technology. You may still think that I am joking – especially when you see that the price of this hose is not extraordinary. But you will know that I am NOT joking when you experience the extraordinary quality of this hose the first time that you use it.

One more thing….this hose has been tested extensively in cold weather and it has a remarkable ability to avoid ‘recoiling’ while cold. This is a hose that allows you to be the boss!! And I like that. Available in 60' and 100' lengths.

 Rainforest Lawn and Garden Sprinklers

"I have been looking for a lawn and garden water sprinkler that would reliably deliver water to both the largest and smallest areas of my yard. It had to be tough - able to take being dropped on the driveway and dragged across the garden. These new Mark's Choice lawn and garden sprinklers meet all of my requirements and then some. The manufacturers have been supplying professionals in the irrigation business for years. And the products are made in Canada. The heart shaped water 'breaker' on these sprinklers shatters water droplets into a fine mist, improving the delivery of water to the root zone of the lawn by 30%. It covers up to 1,200 sq. ft. yet operates very well on 5 lbs. to 80 lbs. of pressure. I am impressed by the even application of water to the entire area; there's no 'halo' effect. In fact the only halo you will get is the feeling that you're in heaven when you look at a lawn and garden that have been properly irrigated! (I 'gang up' my sprinklers with several sections of hose to reduce labour and watering time.) Available in 5 styles in varying sizes:

Professional plumbers have enjoyed the benefits of stainless steel connectors for years. Now gardeners can use a hose fitting that does not kink at the facet, guaranteed! While we have carried this excellent product in the gardening department for some time, the Mark’s Choice Product development team extended it so that it would go around corners including the sharp corner of a brick wall without causing the frustration that goes with the territory of the garden hose. Use in combination with the new Mark’s Choice Ultimate Quality garden hose and you are virtually frustration-free in your garden!!

Anyone who has gardened for some time will tell you that all watering cans are created equal! Truth is that a well designed and built watering can is a pleasure to use and will provide excellent service for many years. The Mark’s Choice Long spouted all metal watering can is as good as it gets. The long spout means less stooping. Easier on your back. The all metal construction and upgraded paint means no rust and a tight seal – no leaking! The brass ‘rose’ [or ‘breaker’] at the end of the spout is perfect for gently watering young seedlings or transplants without blasting them out of the soil. Take off the rose and the volume of water increases impressively! Finally, the new Mark’s Choice watering can is well balanced for comfort. Less fatique. I have one at each of my 4 rain barrels
