watering can

[solar]

I'm deciding to get either kaneshin, masakuni or nobuichi copper watering can. Anyone has reviews of them in terms of durability and the softness of water produced by their roses?

I have a masakuni copper can it's very nice and holds up. I have kaneshin tools and they are superb as well so i think between those two you can't go wrong. I don't know much about nobuichi.

No input on those but I cannot ask for more from my Haws watering can. Worth checking also.

I strongly recommend Haws watering Cans, second to none out there, metal has a minimum life of 20 years, plastic has a 5 year minimum life.
I have no experience with the tools you mentioned.

For those using Haws...what rose style do you use? Just curious...I need a good watering can as well.

I am using the regular oval rose but read (multiple times) that the best is the fine spray round rose.

Oh thank god... for a second I was worried I was going to have to figure out how to make Haws sound Japanese....

Get a Hawsakuni watering can... they are incredible. Those Hawshin's are awesome too... or even a Hawsabuchi. Any of those three are beyond exceptional and durable.

HOWEVER if using a gardening hose... nothing beats a Masakuni wand. I own like three. lol

Thanks Dario...though...upon looking at their site. I ponder on their lances as well. Curious if eons find those more useful than say...a watering can.

I am using the metal slimcan with the brass oval rosette. Upside down it gives a fine slow water. Pointed down it runs much faster. They are meant to work that way.

My watering wand needs replacing and seriously wondering which way to go...Haws or Masakuni. I would have gone w/ Masakuni right away IF it is longer.

My contenders.

BTW, My Haws can is on vacation for almost a year...I water with watering wand. Cans are nice but tiring when watering 160 plants.

Read V's post above.

These are cheaper and shorter for getting around pots. All you need extra is a 5 dollar ball valve. All everyday watering uses these... feeding trees is what we use the can for.

Yes...her post wasn't up when I started posting. I will look into that brand. Because refilling a watering can can become time consuming.

Having the short wand and small rose of a Masakuni also helps for getting inside canopies if you need to blast out aphids.

Sadly, I have plants not too accessible with a short wand. Due to tight space and packed yard that you probably cannot relate to.

I am going auto this year again after the fence is installed and weather permits. Dario, you might just want to replace the head on that wand with one of these. Have one the works well. Also nobody has mentioned that fine spouts/heads can and do clog as do auto misters so at least for me a inline pair of substrate filters and a single charcoal canister seems to eliminate that hassle.

That could be bro... but there's a lot of growing flat/pot trees that get broadcast watered with it. I have stupid good pressure though too.
