Garden Hose Kinks - How to Fix

A kink is defined as "a sharp bend in a line produced when a line having a loop is pulled tight". For a garden hose in use, this happens when a hose gets pulled tightly from a loop and results in the cutting off of the water supply. The way to "unkink" the hose when watering the garden is to approach the kink and straighten it, at least temporarily. This can be annoying if the garden hose is long and you need to constantly "unkink" it.

Shown below is a garden hose kink visible because of its shape and its faded color, meaning, the kink has been there for some time.
