How to increase pressure when splitting garden hose?

I would like to water my front and backyard at the same time. I have to garden hoses and would to connect them to one spigot.
I tried it with a v-splitter but experienced very low pressure. If I turn one side off than one hose gets enough pressure.

Any suggestions or is this even possible???

If one hose is connected the pressure is fine.

Unless you use two sperate spigots, you will see a drop in pressure at each hose.

This is because the pressure delivered is a function of the flow capacity (which is dictacted by the ID at the spigot) vs. the flow ID in the two hoses. In an open ended environment, or one where the total flow due to the discharge openings, as on a sprinkler, exceed that of the flow capacity of the the spigot, the pressure would drop. Additionally there is a pressure drop due to friction in the hose. Obviously with two hoses you double that pressure drop.

The typical garden hose int he USA has 3/4″ GHT (Garden Hose Thread), but the hose itself might be 1/2″, 5/8″ (most common), or 3/4″.

If you require pressure at the end of the hoses, and are willing to sacrifice volume (Gal/Min), you might try going to two hoses with a smaller hose ID than that of your current hose. Since this might bring down the flow capacity of the hoses closer to that of the spigot and thereby increase pressure.

You might consider as an alternative using a Valved Wye with shutoffs, and simply switch back and forth as needed. This would allow you to leave the hoses in place.

Conversely you could use water timers to control the flow so that the watering was done automatically, at slightly different times, so that you did not need to switch the valves maually.
