Tall sprinklers?

Happy summer gardening to the northern hemisphere medit gardeners (and winter gardening to southern folks). I have a question this morning:

My garden is irrigated by drip which I absolutely love. The only drawback is that leaves accumulate dust and dirt, especially in our dry summers. The film makes a great habitat for mites and other tiny critters whom I don't want in the garden, so I like to rinse the leaves once or twice in the summer. I typiccally use an oscillating, hose-end sprinkler that gets moved throughout the garden (it takes a couple of days to get everything).

Trouble is, these ground-based sprinklers have a hard time spraying water high enough to rinse leaves from above. I often set the sprinkler on a chair or an inverted trash can, just to raise the level of the spray but what would be great would be some kind of sprinkler with a telescoping base. Ever heard of something like that? I've searched the interent and my local stores to no avail. If anyone has a suggestion, I'd be very much appreciative.

Best

Nan
