Getting fed with kinked hose when watering. Anybody using the coil hose I have seen advertised, thinking of getting one to make my life a bit easier in the summer. Thanks

    I like the curly one for things like washing pots/the car/implements and filling dog buckets, hosing down dirty dog legs. I want a bracket hung so I can leave it there. For watering I find it tiresome and prefer a ''normal hose'' and a sprinkler which I can move, doing something else in the garden so as no to wastefully over water, but not stand there watering.
