if your using a trolley what won't you be able to reach? The worst thing will be that you will have to move the trolley every couple of windows or so.
It is a good idea to get longer pole hose though, so you won't have to do this.

Lol  Hiya Mark.. I just told him not to do this  DUH!!  Oh well.. horses for coures eh?

hello andrew, hope your well and it's good to see you back on here posting again.
I did notice that and chuckled as you attributed my remark to wce and I was gonna keep quiet and hope it would slip under the radar..

I did originally try carrying a small garden reel with the trolley, but i was still suffering post traumatic stress disorder from breaking ornaments and plants with my reel of microbore at the time and the pole hose thing seemed like a good alternative.
The only trouble i find with the pole hose is that it cracks and leaks during the winter months.

Thanks guys.  

I could see that Kris needed a fix fast and tried to give him a viable solution.

You misunderstood what he meant - He was agreeing with me a longer pole hose is a nightmare!

Don't buy a great long length of replacement pole hose like WCE says..  it's a nightmare

 

Anyway, the cats out the bag now. It was me not you that recommended this.

Lol!!! Being serious don't you find it a pain having such a long hose on your pole? I found that I would get it tangled all the time! Also you mention it cracking in winter what pole hose is this? I use the clear stuff I got from omnipole and have never had that problem!

it wasn't as much of a pain as knocking over £300 statues and breaking the arms off. 
To be honest i have got used to it and have learnt how to work with it now.
What i like about the pole hose is that it is very light and when it does get snagged it won't overpower whatever it is snagging on.
I also carry the pole with the opposite end of the brush lowered to the floor if i'm moving around where there are lots of obstacles or flowers etc. SO when it does snag it doesn't tip anything over as it gets caught up along the floor rather than high up. And with plants or flowers, it catches around the bottom of the stem which are sturdier than the flower bit at the top.
i went through a phase of my van looking like a flower delivery van due to all the heads of flowers i would pick up and stash so the owners didn't notice. 
Fortuntely, those days have pretty much gone now as i'm quite adept at it nowadays.

I haven't tried the stuff from omnipole, i use the stuff from gardiners. The problems i had with splitting was where the plastic end cap would come off the pole and it would chafe along the sharp edges of the pole.

how do you cnnect normal garden hose to the minibore on the brush?

[WCE]

Well the connector I got from omnipole does that for me I assume you mean the pole hose. The connector is plugs straight into standard hoselock fittings.
