Sounds like cheap plastic hose, I hate the stuff. Good rubber hose is a lot easier to work with and will last a lot longer.

Yardworks. Heavy duty rubber.

Spend the money or be frustrated.

The garden hose was $35. Omg. I bought top line at Canadian Tire store. I didn't cheap out guys. If I could buy better I would.

Can you use PVC to plumb the water closer to the garden?

Loger_gw. My better half had a home previously that had lawn sprinklers. He would consider it I'm guessing. Do u have a link to this kind of watring system? I need 100 foot.

No idea what the current exchange rate is between US and Canada, but here's a rubber hose with very high ratings. Look around the site, they have them in 100 foot.

Can you share a picture of your water source to your garden area in one view? This would allow suggestions “best from your locals that know the codes and climate. Basically I’m referring to below ground Schedule 40- ¾” PVC (5X 20’) sections with minimal needs at both ends. If the 100’ of hose is moved about in the garden, “That Ends My Idea. My ref is to get to the garden and add a hose to move watering in the garden.

I use a crate near my water spigot. If you pull it in spigot end first, kinks are hard to come by. It is worth mentioning, the bigger the crate/box/container, the bigger the loops allowed and easier to get back where it needs to be. I have a plan in the back of my mind to make a bigger one soon and pop a lid on it. Maybe to sit on so garden harvests can be worked/cleaned/eaten right there?

I feel your pain! Last summer I bought two brightly colored hoses that were on an "End of summer clearance" sale. They sure saw ME coming. Cheap and flimsy, these two hoses will kink if you look directly at them too long. A constant source of information to me, I now realize/remember -- after only a few minutes use-- that I need to replace them. I will never buy cheap crap hoses again!!!

GRRRRRRRRRRRRR!!!

Quality hoses with good, thick, braided construction are a pain to wrestle around, but rarely ever kink. The hoses I bought last summer are just garbage.

The first hose we had was a gift from dear FIL -- I forgot name, but had 'FLEX' in it. It was heavy, medium green, brass ends and never kinked. The lighter weight ones kink like crazy and I can spend lots of time walking to the kink to open it and allow the water to continue flowing. Lots of exercise and bending down. I chucked it and bought two heavy gauge, butt ugly black hoses from Job Lots. They don't kink! However the chemical out-gasing was horrid for several weeks. I let the water run through the two sections of it. Score using it on my vegetables. I used to have a hose real (cumbersome) but now leave it on the lawn. Not good. I may have to try the figure 8 suggestion. Thanks, Turnage!

Your gardener needs training on how to coil a hose. Some people are hopeless and cannot do that quick little flip to avoid a kink. Same way with long extension cords. Once a hose gets a kink, it's "dead". I can also attest to the figure 8 method...I use it and it works great for hoses and electrical cords.

The best hose I've ever owned was a flexogen mint green beast. Best hose period.

Have had very good luck with Goodyear (now Continental). Somewhat pricey initially, but have outlasted several purchases of cheaper hoses.
