Hi mef, usually if you are buying mail order it is more expensive than buying from a retail outlet, so I would suggest shopping around before you go for it. Aldis and Lidls tend to have some good gardening offers at this time of year. David.

 

Hello MEF - do you mean the ones that are kind of like a spring, with small coils (as opposed to the ones that you wind up on a reel?) - if so I wouldn't recommend them - we had one and it was a total pain in the bum, kept getting tangled up and the connector to the tap leaked, and it was really hard to store it neatly.

 

Hi Mef

I bought a 'no tangle no kink' hose last year for �£19.99 by mail order but I wouldn't recommend them. It tangled and kinked and was a real pain. I've just bought an 80ft one on a reel which has a handle to re-wind. Although you have to take the trouble to wind it back in, at least it doesn't get tangled up.
