Any mathmeticians here

I'd pretend that a 100' hose can reach 90', otherwise you're going to be putting a lot of tension on your hose bibs and always having to tug on the hose to get the final few feet to get to your spot.

This is pretty similar to what I was trying to get across. A 100' hose is not going to reach 100' in actual use.

It's going to curve, and it's going to be heavy, so if you want it straight, you will probably have to walk back and forth straightening it out to maximize the useful length. You won't be able to straighten it by yanking on the open end.

This is getting pretty complicated. Had to dig out my old spirograph from the 60's and my slide-rule. Looks like you'll need a hose bib at the tip of every other flower petal . . .

Why not just go out there with a 100' hose and mark off where you need them?

As others have mentioned, I think I'd just use additional hoses. Put them on a rolling reel.

For fun, I asked ChatGPT to give me a diagram based on hoses with a practical length of 80', and ChatGPT is too stupid to get it right. Amusing. ChatGPT is way overrated. Gets things wrong all the time.

You're really asking a lot, trying to get a 100' hose to reach the center line of a 180'-wide field, assuming the hose is 90' long in practical use, which is optimistic. That's 180' divided by two, so it puts you just at the center. Then when you swing the hose at an angle other than 90 degrees, the end swings away from the center.

Place spigots at 80-foot intervals along the 490-foot sides (left and right, at
0,80,160,240,320,400,480 and one spigot at the midpoint of each 180-foot side or 90'. This requires 16 spigots total to ensure a 100 ft hose can reach every point inside the 180' x 490' rectangle without dead spots.

My scale is a bit off...

Those longer hoses are looking better and better.

I know this isn't what you asked for, but you could also buy some quick connect fittings for your garden hose along with some short (10'-20') hoses that can bridge the gaps. That would get you down to 4 spigots. Three 15' hoses would allow you to get down to 4 spigots and only leave a very small triangle on each end that you couldn't reach. Otherwise, you're looking at 6 spigots as shown above. If you're not happy with those small gaps, you're looking at 8 spigots.

You are right
We will ultimately have to end up doing this somewhere I’m sure

It’s heavily wooded at this point
Just trying to set things up and clear as little as possible

Woods will definitely make those hoses seem shorter.

I guess I have a question for the OP....

WHY?!

Just curious.

Again, just curious as to why you'd want so many hoses and spigots? That's bigger than a football field.
