I've tried a new (to me) way of hanging a hose on a hook, so that it's
not twisted/snagged when it's unwound for use. I call it "Loops".

1. Run the hose out preferably on a long stretch of garden, so that all
the kinks etc can be removed.

2. Take the nozzle-end back to the tap-end and hang it over the hook.

3. You'll see you've made your first loop. Bring the loop up to the hook
and hang it there.

4. Now you have 2 new loops, so bring them up and hang them together on
the hook.

5. Now bring the 4 new loops and hang them together on the hook, and the
job's done.

When you want to use the hose again, lift all the loops together off the
hook, take the nozzle and drag as much hose away as you need to spray
whatever you need to.

It never seems to tangle/kink/snag.

Perhaps everyone here does this anyway!

Sounds interesting.

What about the figure-8 way that long TV camera cables are collected up?
Long established method to avoid twisting the cables. Wonder how well it
would work with hose...
