Today I’m gonna show you guys how I messed around with a steel watering can. First off, I grabbed a pretty basic galvanized steel one from the store. It looked solid and like it could take a beating, which is exactly what I needed.
Getting Started
I filled it up from my outdoor tap to see how it felt weight-wise. It’s a decent size, so it was a bit heavy when full, but nothing I couldn’t handle. I made sure the handle was comfy enough for carrying it around the yard.
Testing It Out
- Pouring: I started by watering my plants. The spout is long, so I could reach the back of my flower beds without squashing the ones in front. The water came out in a nice, steady stream, not too fast or too slow.
- Control: I tried tilting the can to see how well I could control the flow. It was pretty easy to adjust, which is great for my more delicate plants that don’t like a strong blast of water.
- Durability: I accidentally knocked it against a brick wall a couple of times (oops), but it held up fine, no dents or leaks. This thing seems like it’ll last a while.
What I Liked
- Sturdy: This watering can feels like it can handle some rough use. I’m not exactly gentle with my tools, so that’s a big plus.
- Good Flow: The water comes out evenly, and it’s easy to control where it goes. No more drowning my plants by accident!
- Reach: The long spout is a lifesaver for getting to those hard-to-reach spots without trampling over everything.
What Could Be Better
- Weight: When it’s full, it gets a bit heavy. Not a huge deal, but if you’ve got a lot of watering to do, it might get tiring.
Overall, I’m pretty happy with this steel watering can. It does what it’s supposed to do, and it seems tough enough to last for years. I just fill it up, walk around my garden, and give my plants a good drink. It’s simple, but it works. If you’re looking for something that just works and will probably outlive you, this is a good bet.
