Haws watering can

[LemonBonsai]

So many people swear by haws watering cans, and seeing videos I can see why. But I cant find any for the life of me here in canada, ive tried online, and in stores like lee valley. The thing is I can find the small 1 litre ones quite easily but they are so small it would be annoying to use it.

Does anybody know of places that have the 2 litre ones in stock and that ship to canada? Or even another type of watering can that is similar to the haws watering can?

Good luck, they’re out of business. It’s a shame too, because they were the best.

I use a Japanese brand called Richell. I like it more than my outdoor Haws

That’s great! Last time I looked, they were done, even had a blurb on their website saying as much. I was pretty surprised.

I have a sprinkler system but when I hand water, I use a hose and a watering wand. No need to refill and easier to carry around the benches IMO

You need to think of a watering can as a cordless hose.

A watering can is heavy to lug around sand will take longer cause you have to run back and forth to the hose to refill it anyway

Yea they don’t hold a charge very long!

I got tired of filling a watering can over and over again and I'm not able to use a hose, unfortunately. So I got one of these:

2 Gallon Handheld Sprayer

Versatile sprayer perfectly sized for smaller jobs or spot treatment applications. Durable compression pump with steel rod and large, comfortable pump handle

Hm..

Maybe rethink.. Watering can is a cordless hose & portable fitness studio. Stay fit watering your trees.

But in reality.. I found 7-8 fillings to be enough to water all my trees once. Not that bad?

Bonsai Outlet had some in stock. I ordered the small one since I have 5 trees still in growth pots

Thanks for sharing the links to the watering cans. If you can't use a hose, you're using your watering can 1-2x daily so investing in a proper one seems like a no-brainer to me

Those Richell cans look real nice, and are reasonably priced here:

A cordless hose that needs frequent recharging.

No thank you, as I get older I try to do things with less work and less time not more.
The only time I have to water is after work when I am already tired on some days.
Watering with a can would take about twice as long as with the hose. Plus trying to lift and hold the full can when Im tired and not knock a tree over.
A watering wand lets me water with one hand and turn the tree if needed with the other.

It is a moot point anyway. Most of the time my trees are watered by a sprinkler system on a timer that is timed to water in the morning when I have even less time because I have to get ready for work. I've found morning watering to be better for the trees than watering later in the day after work. I get more time to actually walk around and look at my trees after work instead of just watering. I only water by hand when I need to which is rare. If they need a watering in the evening on really hot days, I set the sprinkler off for 10 min or so to take care of it.
