Slow and smooth
How do you get that slow,
smooth spray from a DIY plant watering can?
Heat a needle and then push
holes through the cap.
A lot easier than going out
to the store to buy one made in China. A smooth spray allows for more
even watering compared to a quick dribble.

Brilliant!!!!!! Gawd I love you guys!
Just be sure & do this project outdoors, so you don't breath in toxic fumes . . .
Thanks for the how to on making a watering jug, I am tired of buying Chinese watering cans only to have them mysteriously crack. I really only need such a thing part of the year for young plants so these should work great.
= = = hint = = = For better water flow put a hole in the handle so it gets in an the water will come out fast (no air lock) . To slow the flow just put your thumb over the hole. - Michael
