I love that you show how to make each can and how they pour. I don't know why this video doesn't have more likes but I appreciate a thorough DIY! Thank you for the variety of "cans" so that we can help save the environment :)

cool! This will save my money. Watering cans are expensive in here, India, plus they are few in designs, and I find it better to make your own. Thanks for your ideas, I have just made 1,5 litre plastic bottle can. Also works fine (I do not have a drill, I made holes with the kitchen knife, as a true woman, lol).

Swan White Thats good to hear!! Another thing that works is heating up a needle, and melting through the lid. A+ for ingenuity!!

Swan White true we don't get a enough variety of watering cans in india and if we get most of them are too big and broken

I already did this with a small bottle, for my newly planted seeds, but I really like the large ones you showed too, that way I get to control the flow. Thank you, really good idea.
@komalverma1786 жыл бұрын
Wow....great idea to recycle the cans. I will be making one or two or more for my plants.

Great idea! Try this too: Use a Jumbo paper clip, pliers, and a propane torch. Open the clip up, heat the wire with the torch and push it through the top in the pattern of you choice. The paper clip is much smaller than your 1/16" drill and easier to control with the pliers rather than with the heavy drill. I'm going to give this a try for my tiny seedling sprouts.

That's actually a great idea and something that I had in mind to try this year and probably will as it will even be better for seedlings. That said, the laundry detergent one that I made in the video works really well for seedlings already (maybe just slightly heavy but) and is the only way I watered my seedlings after I made it. It's nice because I'd just fill it up with pond water and then water the plants and so on. Thanks for the idea and advice, I'm going to try it! :-)

I only have a balcony area, not a garden and was going to buy a small watering can for my plants out there so could water them all at once. I feel like an idiot now, I already have a houseful of watering cans. :D

I sure will, and I'm just getting the material together to start my fall seeds too. Will let you know when it's done. I just love great ideas, and why I didn't think of the larger bottles is beyond me, so see, all videos help us out a lot, so sharing even the small items, is a very good thing. Bless

Actually I used what is called a Lavette Bottle, a Perineal Irrigation Bottle used mostly for hospital patients. It has MANY uses for me. I used it to help wash my bedridden husband's hair, as a substitute for toilet paper, a test to see how it worked, and after seeing a video on watering seeds, I tried it out, and it worked Great. I'll make a video of it for you. It already has 3 very small holes in it, and can be very gentle, or as strong as you like. I also just ordered a couple more too.

I used a gallon ice tea jug, but I put a 1/2 inch hole at the top of the handle that I can cover & uncover with my thumb to control air flow into the jug which controls the water flow out. No need to squeeze the jug to get water out. Just a suggestion you might want to try too.

Thanks for some great ideas!!! Very practical. Have subscribed. 👍 Since I don't have a drill, would nails of different diameter, heated on a kitchen gas flame work as well for making the holes?

Nice video Wayne! That really got into different types and patterns. Great idea and that cold one at the end of the vid was a nice touch to wrap up the vid LOL I save the larger biggest ones for storage when power goes out to flush toliets. I want to get water collection system going and get big containers or barrels for use in my garden, raised high and use gravity for pressure. Take care buddy!!

How do those apple juice bottles hold up to daily use ? And the square handles on the top ? My clear plastic orange juice bottle lasted one hour before the squeezing wore a hole through one corner. So I'm looking at alternatives.

Thanks for watching and the support IndianaNature! We (she) were buying that for the girls last year and was the only thing their mom would get them which is why I had a supply of bottles. If you watch my other videos, you'll learn that we went through a breakup. My choice is to always, where possible, use locally produced products and/or at least use products that are made in the USA. Thanks again. ps. I grew up in Indiana.
