Beauty & Craftsmanship
I bought this 9L Galvanized Metal Watering can in Green to replace a fading & leaking plastic one that had been my workhorse watering can for a few seasons. Time and sun exposure had taken a toll on the plastic. I wanted my new can to be larger, and I wanted it to be metal in the hope that it would last longer. Well this 9L green can is quite a looker. And I'm so pleased with its craftsmanship. It is the sort of quality that I thought was a thing of the past. When I'm not using my green can, I enjoy just looking at it. It's that pretty. But besides its looks and its high quality manufacturing, it functions very well. It's big enough to water several plants before needing to refill it, but not so big that I can't carry it full. The dual handles make controlling the can while pouring very easy. And the removable sprinkling rose is nicely crafted. (It does dribble a bit when the can is set down after watering with it, so you may wish to reserve the rose for outdoor use rather than indoor use with your wood floors.) I adore my 9L green metal watering can. (BTW - The picture also shows the green 9L can's 5L 'little sister' in red. Together they make a perfect Christmas pair. Pretty enough for a Christmas card.)
