This video demonstrates how to repair a damaged garden hose.  Mine had a run-in with the weedwhacker I believe.

You need to buy a "hose mender" which can be found at your local bix box home improvement store (Home Depot, Lowe's, Menards, or what have you, oftentimes also available at something like a WalMart or Target).  There are 2 styles available, metal and plastic.  I  strongly suggest the metal version, as it is a lot stronger, which will also make for a stronger repair.

Alternately, you can use a piece of copper pipe and two hose clamps, if you happen to have those on hand, for a no-cost fix.

To repair the hose, simply cut the hose on either side of the break, insert the coupler between the two ends, and tighten up the clamps securely for a nice repair.
