Yes, any hose storage system needs a feeder hose to connect it to the

the hose which came with the reel.

Worth giving a bit of though to as people instinctively tend to choose
too short a feeder hose, thereby limting range and flexibility. My tap
is a long way away from where I need the water and one of my hose carts
which I use exclusively on a distant veg plot has a 30 metre feeder hose
which I have lightly buried.

I was wondering if the hozelock pack came complete with feeder hose, I
have no spare hose so will have to buy some specifically.

Thanks for info.

All I have at the moment is the coiled type with its own metal fittings
and I want to give that to a relative.
