hose advice
Is it possible to buy a hose and "holder" where I can attach the holder to
the wall, near the tap, and just wind the hose in and out, not necessarily unwinding it completely each time. Also is there a kind of hose which does not kink often? At the moment I seem to have to unwind the whole hose every thing I use it and I always end up with something so kinked that by the time I've unkinked it all it has started to rain Thanks in advance, Hayley |

I have a Hozelock one, but not retractable as the other reply has directed you to. Points to bear in mind. Do you have room to put it on a wall and get a satisfactory 'angle' to pull the hose out? Is the size of the drum big enough to get your desired length of hose on? (I ask this one because I had to have a very long hose to reach the bottom of the garden to where my garage ad parking place is) Are you able to pull the hose out and wind it in without beheading your plants? And in answer to the kinking question, the Hozelock hose is a much firmer hose as it will withstand Mains Water pressure when switched off at the user end. ie watering something then putting the end down without having to go back to the tap. TIP TO OTHERS re a hose kinking. Instead of just coiling it down or winding it up in a coil, lay it out over a 'figure of 8' or wind it onto 2 pegs in a 'figure of 8'. That way you will be putting a 'left turn' into the hose, followed by a 'right turn'. It will then just pull out :-)) Mike -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Forthcoming reunions.
