Free: Drip Feed Porous Hose (Ilkeston DE7 4B) Not sure if that’s the correct title for a porous hose, but one end is blocked off and the other end connected to your garden hose and it dribbles out slowly all along its length to keep dry beds hydrated. It’s so many gallons per hour, can’t remember the figures. Overall length about 8 yards. Condition a bit green in a few places but seems to work as it should.

Free: Fence Paint Spray System (Ilkeston DE7 4B) Claimed to spray 15 sq metres in 10 minutes. Used but working order as far as we can tell. The mains blower creates a great blast of air for the spray head. We’ve never used it but whether any bits need cleaning out we don’t know. Seems to be complete and boxed, with a little instruction leaflet.
