Watering Can Alternative

[Booksworm]

Hi all,

Would anyone be interested in using a watering can that doesn't require tilting? Is this something worth fixing? Or overrall happy as they are?

That would just be adding an extra possible point of failure and making the whole thing less reliable and more likely to break. No ta. Plus anyone who really struggles would get a hose with a spray head instead.

What @Geneticsbunny said

How would you get the water to come out then?

The funnel would be sloping down ready for water to be released then from the handle itself as you carry it you squeeze like a brake and the internal/external lid lock would release.

You could press a handle/lever which moved a cover out of the way (on the bottom of the can) and revealed a section which had holes in like a watering can rose.

Yep. That would stop the wet feet issue that would happen with my idea! I think the sticking out bit might cause a balance issue though?

Wouldn’t completely stop the wet feet, it’d be hard to get a complete seal.

Moving from pot to pot, I think it’s hard to beat tipping as a quick way of turning water flow on and off.

I’d be more impressed with a flexible spout, like a short piece of hose. But then I’d go the whole hog and have a 5 gal backpack and cut down on trips to the water source.
