why don't you just use garden hose(s)?

I am using the garden hose now, but it sucks:

Garden hoses easily plug up with the muck.
See this muck, for example, cleaned up from earlier today:

Plus, the output from the garden hose is downright puny:

What takes about an hour with the 1.5 inch diameter vacuum
hose seems to take about four times as long with the 3/4" diameter
garden hose.

Even longer if I don't unclog the plugs that inevitably occur.
So, really, as a solution, the garden hose stinks!

What I need is to join the two 50 foot vacuum hoses, or, find
a cheap alternative to 1.5 inch diameter hose for at least 100
feet.
