Default Repairing garden hoses...

Has anyone found an effective way of fixing pin-prick holes in garden
hoses?

I have tried bike puncture repair kits and self-vulcanising tape. Both
work for a short while but eventually succumb to the water pressure.

Why do holes always appear near the middle of the hose rather than near an
end where you could maybe cut a section off???

from day 1 I bought underground hose which had a much tougher
makeup............still using it 20 years on............have not seen it
around for many years now though.
