Advantages: good can

Disadvantages: none

Water, all plants need water, so if you are a gardener a watering can is a tool that will be an essential.

I have a Haws 660 Practican Water Can one I inherited from my dad , he can't have had it very long looks quite new . I have looked on line and found you can buy this Haws watering can for £13.45 at http://www.twowests.co.uk or £13.99 at http://www.greenfingers.com.

There are several sizes of Haws watering cans this one is 6 litres it is a green colour. There is a red 6 litre capacity watering can that is designed for weed killing this has different spray head/rose.

Design~~
This is a plastic blow moulded can. There is the small golden Haws logo printed on the front top of the can it has a curved handle and a spout brace. There is a moulded plastic parking point where you can pop the rose for storage. This can has a tall neck this prevents spillage so it can be held at a steep angle.
The straight spout on this one although not a long one is long enough for most watering tasks

Rose~~~
The rose is an oval brass faces with a down spout which fits into the watering can spout. This dopes give a good spray. If you need a replacement rose they cost £3.45 at http://www.birstall.co.uk
There is a rose for weed killers that will also fit this spout it is fan shaped costs
£ 2.98.from http://www.dobbies.co.uk.
Not a good idea to use the same can for watering plants and weed killing too .

Use~~~~

This can is easy to use the handle has being designed to make it easy to carry . When full 6 litres /10 pints this will weigh 6.3kg when full
I use this can in my green house for seedling and for larger plants. I use it for watering my plants that are in pots on the Patio. I sometimes use it for watering my vegetables in the veggie patch and if I put out bedding plants I will use it too. This is a useful versatile watering can.

Durability ~~~~~
This is a well made blow moulded plastic the manufacturers give it a 5 years life span but personally I think longer.

History~~~~~~
In ago 1886 John Haws of Clapton, London developed a new watering pot and acquired a patent. From a French design he developed a watering pot which was cleaner and easier to tip. This design has changed little since. Of course they are now called watering cans
not pots .


Would I recommend? ~~~~~~~~~
Yes Haws watering cans are good .
