[MrMarkyMark]

Thanks, that's the one I was looking at.

This thread reminded me of a picture the in house CCTV took of the gardener hard at work on the estate, yesterday.

Just can't be done with hoses

I went with the 25m version of this last year for £90 and I have to say it is really rather good

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?

Eh?

You mean you actually touch your own garden hose?

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

Mrs QH of course.

Think Lady Handles lover.

[woohoo]

I went with this

along with this

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

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

[WTFH]

He is busy with the drainage problem in the lower pasture.

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.

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 ....

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.

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