i have been lucky with my cart, i think i might just have a slightly longer pole hose for the cart, i really cannot see the point of a 50 M hose

Ive learnt to count in the last year, I was so angry with it for the first 3 months, then realised the day went better and I earnt more if I didnt take my relationship with my hose-reel too personally, it isn't that it doesnt love me, it just has a mind of its own  

Now I just stay calmmmm and treat it with respect

Dont know how i manage it because i only pulled a little tiny  bit  :

pulled heard a bang went round the corner id only got snagged on a big 120 litre rainwater but and pulled it over............. it was like a flood plain...   and that was first day with the new 8mm microbore lol

Kids bicycles chucked on the ground are great, i can lasso two at a time easily. Scooters are a doddle, i can drag those back without even knowing. My favourite times are when the hose decides to kink under a wooden gate then wedges itself solid.   Parked cars on the drive are such fun and of course wheely bins - i can catch those walking both ways. Eventually wind it all back up and laugh at all the cat crap i've smothered myself in. 
There is no knack it's always a pain in the bum. But not a pain in the back like barrels are.

It's often the case that you don't put out quite enough hose, and when it is short it's always just a foot short of where you want it

I hate it when it goes thru a smear of dog poo on the pavement, but you don't see it happen, or know it's happened until you get back in the van, and a smell starts reach your nose, from your hand.

Nowadays I take my hose in thru a rag, cleans it as you go.

You see the pattern on your rug? It will get stuck on that lol

Used a hose for the first time a couple of weeks ago. It got stuck under a gate, so gave it a tug and it whipped around like a skipping rope and threw a potted plant about 6 feet in the air. I just stood there gobsmacked!  

I spoke to the customer and apologised. Luckily, the plant was being thrown out.  

It does get better quickly - honest!

You need to learn each house, where to lay it, where to pull it. It takes some time, plus the hose does need a day or two to get more supple (if it's new)
