Product Information

Easily the most glamorous choice on our list, this watering can won points for its good looks on top of its effectiveness. We loved the subtle, hammered texture that made it look "extra luxe," and we'd happily show it off in one of our homes. This watering can would look nice sitting on a shelf by your houseplants and is a great design for people without a lot of storage who would need to keep it on display.

With this in mind, we set up a low-maintenance, low-water garden. Here are a few features of our low-water garden: In fact, I have found 16 cheap and easy DIY irrigation systems that will take the difficulty out of keeping your garden watered.

Avoid using overhead sprinklers that spray a lot of water high into the air because more water will be lost to evaporation. Instead, use sprinklers that keep water lower to the ground and can easily be adjusted to change the delivery pattern so water can be applied directly to the area that needs it.

I didn’t see it mentioned by name, but I loved #10. It utilized the ‘Little Giant ‘ brand waterer. While it is more expensive, I found its application to be worth the extra expense. The water flow is ingeniously regulated by a simple valve core from a pneumatic tire. Coupled with Gilmore brand brass flow-stop garden hose fittings & adapters allowed us to disconnect the waterer to clean it without turning off the entire line.Gardening is one of my favorite projects. I love nothing more than planting a huge vegetable garden every spring and I can’t wait until those veggies come in throughout the season. In watering cans, attractive design, good balance, and grip do not always go hand in hand. A watering can needs good balance so it doesn't easily topple over. Generally, the longer and bulkier the spout, the poorer the balance. If the spout is fairly thin, it won't necessarily be prone to tipping. "A can with a slightly wider base can help balance out a heavier spout, and ones with heavier metal accents may also be more stable," says Stark.
