    Not a question about a plant I´m afraid BUT I need help !!
    Yesterday I purchased a hosepipe (20 metres) and today connected it to tap in anticipation of watering my veggie patch easily.
    However, I battled in vain to stop hose from kinking - getting soaked in the process - fortunately it is hot here at the moment.
    Has anyone any suggestions/tips.
    Thanks

    Try to straighten it out as much as you can before turning the water on. Also make sure it is not kinked up when you put it away, try to loop it around something(hanging) or lay it in large coils on the ground. Other than that, I really don't know. Do you have a nossle on the it? It helps some.

    thanks Anna
    I laid it out flat this morning and it was slightly better, at least I didn´t get wet - will keep experimenting. Hoses seem to have a will of their own !!
