Ah, the problem wasn't so much the reaching as that the little buggers are even better than hanging baskets at stoically not absorbing water and having it just run immediately off the surface, so I had to stand there for ages very carefully controlling the hose...
One useful trick is to have a permanent tube into the compost, and water direct into that - the water is absorbed straight away and doesn't run off the surface.
