All my life I have struggled with garden hoses and long electric
power
cords. No matter what I do, I cannot get them to coil neatly after
I have
used them. They invariable turn into pretzels and then get tangled.

Is there an easy way to solve this problem?

To prevent an electrical cord from kinking and knotting up wind it in
large
loops that take 5 or 6 feet of cord. Winding them around your arm
(upper arm
and thumb method) will always kink an electrical cord.

Use the same method for a hose, but make sure that the end has
nothing on
it. I agree with the recommendations re good quality hoses. I've
always
used quality rubber hose. Be careful not to kink it while working
with it.

Second that! I bout a top quality hose and due to carelessness managed
to put 2 kinks into while I was unpacking it. Quality hoses that get a
kink, will always have that kink and it is amazingly easy to kink one.
