« Where to Buy a Good Hose Reel | Main | Stylish Gift - Buy a Hose Reel »

Last summer in (not so) sunny England I was tending to my garden which has always been a source of great fulfilment regardless of the weather. I have a huge flower garden along with over 200 container plants. One of the chores hate the most is dragging out my hose from the shed, attaching it to the garden tap and then afterwards having to rewind over 100 feet of hose back into its reel. To be honest I rarely wind it back, preferring to gather up the flexible pipe and haul it back inside.
On a particularly chilly day I slipped as I was carrying the hose and fell. Fortunately I suffered only minor bruising and cuts as I landed softly but painfully into my prized rose bush. I vowed to do something about this hose problem! and so bought one of the automatic rewinding hose reels.
A great benefit of rewinding hose reels is the unit doubles up as a hose hanger. A couple of quick holes drilled into the wall next to the tap and hey presto the hose is hung and a daily summer back breaking chore of carrying a hefty weight is removed from my life. The hose reel came with the option to mount on ground or wall and for a DIY-phobe like myself simple instructions and all the fixings were included.
Summer just gone I enjoyed the gardening without the fear of slipping on a rose bush or slipping a disc. As a keen gardener in the UK the summer weeks (days) are of the essence, there’s not a lot of bright sunny and warm days to enjoy the task, most of the time it’s a quick run out to prune, plant and weed before the clouds appear and you need to dash for cover.
