Our very small front garden was created by dumping about18 inches of soil
over the paving stones. (it was all too solid and cemented in to dig up).
Consequently we have to water very frequently.

We have decide to buy a hose reel. The other day we saw some in B&Q. The
store make was £20 and the hozelock one was £25. We already have a
Gardena one in the back garden, but as its freestanding, it keeps tipping
over when you pull with any viguour, which is annoying.

What one would people here recommend to buy, the b&q, the hozelock or
perhaps some other make? Thanks for any advice.


We have a Hozelock reel but it is fixed to the wall. The drawback is that to
reach the bottom of the garden or the front garden, the hose really has to
be pulled off by hand and snaked out and pulled from there. (It is not a
straight line from the Reel to the extremities of either front or back.
Plants and fixtures are in the way)

No real great problem
