Okay, so, I’ve been wanting to get a new watering can for my garden. My old plastic one was starting to crack, and honestly, it was a bit of an eyesore. I figured it was time for an upgrade, something that looked nicer and would last longer. That’s when I decided to go for a metal watering can.
First things first, I did some online browsing to see what was out there. There are so many options! But I quickly found that most of them were made of steel, usually with some kind of powder coating to prevent rust. They looked sturdy and, in some cases, quite stylish.
After comparing a few, I decided on this one steel watering can I found online. It had a good-sized capacity – 7.5L, which is perfect for my little garden. Plus, it had these two handles that looked pretty easy to grip, and the overall design was just really simple and classic.
When it arrived, I took it out of the box and gave it a good once-over. It felt really solid, not flimsy at all. I filled it up with water and tried it out. The handles were as comfortable as they looked, and it was pretty easy to carry around, even when full. I really like the large capacity. This meant I don’t have to keep refilling it when I am watering my plants.
The spout was nicely curved, so the water flowed out smoothly, and I didn’t spill any while I was walking around. I noticed some others were made from a single piece of metal, which supposedly prevents leaks, but mine seemed pretty leak-proof so far.
I’ve been using it for a few days now, and I’m pretty happy with my choice. It’s definitely an upgrade from my old plastic one. It looks much nicer sitting in my garden, and I have a feeling it’s going to last me a long, long time. Also, I have noticed that the water stays cooler inside it than it did in my plastic watering can, which is nice. My plants are sure to appreciate it.
So, yeah, that’s my little story about getting a new metal watering can. Nothing too exciting, but I’m happy with it, and I thought I’d share my experience in case anyone else is thinking about making the switch from plastic. It just feels good to have something durable and, well, a bit more aesthetically pleasing.
