WATERING CAN

Well more of a cross between a bucket and watering can.

Recently, I read about the Hachiman Japanese made designer watering cans and ordered one last week.  I was pleased with the overnight delivery (from Auckland) and am very pleased with the can itself. I got the large size which is only 5 litres but so well designed.  It feels quite sturdy and is easy to fill. There is no rose to block up and it pours well along the grooves.


We have a worm farm and I also make weed tea and a sieve fits in the top perfectly to strain both of these .

 It could perhaps be a bit larger but I am thrilled with it.

  1. ALL my watering cans end-up with snails living in the spout. This would solve the problem!

    1. I noticed ads for it about a month ago and am so pleased I bought it. Not cheap but well designed.
