Gardena hose system

[quackhandle]

Looking at getting this, as I paid 50 notes for a hozelock hose/reel last year and the thing leaks all over the place and kinks all the time (supposed not to).

Apparently Gardena are very good but on their website they have three! types of hose.

A case of you get what you pay for?

One frost with water in the junctions and they're busted. No matter how much you pay.

Eh?

You mean you actually touch your own garden hose?

What on earth does your Gardner get up to on a daily basis

He is busy with the drainage problem in the lower pasture. Normally I fly over by helicopter to check in him but now I just use a drone.

Yes, I appreciate that may take a lot of the head gardeners time, what about the rest of his team

I think qh likes watering plants and mowing lawns so he can pretend he's down with the plebs because he gets his hands dirty ....

Is that a euphemism?

Anyway, hose alone, I'd expect to pay £1 per metre for cheap, and up to £2 for better quality, so for a normal contractor's garden, you're dropping £500 on the hose*



*if you have standpipes conveniently located down a centre line of each section of garden.

I use Gardena, it's expensive but last for decades, very strong under high temperatures and low temperatures.

[woohoo]

I went with this

Decent quality and the hose is pretty good and doesn't kink so much.
