Use your hand, or a milk carton with the top cut off.

Screw an old saucepan to a suitably long piece of wood? Perhaps chop about with a grinder!

Unfortunately it is out of arm's reach with a milk carton, at least 1m deep.
Like the saucepan idea! Thanks BORG - Bucks & Oxon 4x4 Response Group |

Milk carton on a broom handle would be the way I went.

UPVC / PVC Rigid pipe, just cut it to suit the size needed.
Maybe a little bit annoying to cut, but should work, just get a size a bit smaller than the original bore or multiple sizes. Diesel$ Live$ Matter. β½οΈπ’οΈπ¨βπ§π§°βοΈ RED, WHITE & BOOST! π¬π§ |

Thatβs a trade secret Steve
I have some 4inch ducting pipe for 110 underground drainage, 150 for 6 inch and 200 for 8 β¦.. all cut around 250 long with a hole in the top and a broom handle stuck through, washer and screw through the bottom , a bit of Gaffer tape on the end seals it up, works a treat failing that a wet/pond vac will do the job |
