Gardening Cans recommendations

[Javier Amorin]

Hi all,

Does anyone on this forum use watercans? Any particular one that you guys could recommend?

Thanks!

It's really a matter of personal preferencebut I have my eye on this one from Gardeners Supply. 3gallon capacity.

Carrying a full one of those in each hand would develop your muscles. Who needs weight training!

Is that easy to pour with consider the high water capacity?

I use a 2 1/2 gallon galvanized can. I removed the thing with the holes and use just the straight spout to fertilize my container grown vegetables with liquid fertilizer. Have had the thing for years and still no rust.

Well, I'm just over 5' and 114 lbs. I can carry two 5 gallon buckets, one in each hand, filled with 4 gallons of water each. Depends how muscled your arms are, I suppose.

I realised later that these must be US gallons at 3.785 litres. I automatically was thinking in UK imperial gallons at 4.546 litres.
