Watering can is good for...?

What situations would a watering can be good for? What do you guys use
them for? I bought a beautiful 1.75 gallon metal watering can and it
works wonderfully. But a stupid jerk I know keeps harping on it and
saying I wasted my money and I don't need it. But I don't care if I
don't use it much. I like it and I want to keep it forever. It was only
$22, not the end of the fricking world! This person formerly had a
crappy plastic watering can that leaked because it was cracked. She
taped it with duct tape. Then she threw it away. She also has a plastic
bucket that's cracked. Plastic gardening things seem to break easily.
Hopefully my beautiful metal watering can will last the rest of my
life.
LOL. I think someone is jealous of your watering can.
Funny thing is, I need a new can and forgot to add it to my to-do list.
You've reminded me and I won't be getting another leaky plastic one. Oh
no...metal for me from here on out
For me, they're essential. I leave one on the deck to water the planters
so that I don't have to haul the hose around every day. I fill it up
every two or three days and water at my leisure. I use them to apply
liquid fertilizer to my container veggies...especially transplants. A
capful of Miracle Gro Quick Start and off I go.
No serious gardener can survive without the trusty (metal) watering can!
I use 2.5 gallon kitty litter jugs...... ;-)
Recycling at it's best and I throw them away when they wear out as there
are always more of them. The white ones last 5 times as long as the
clear ones, not sure why.
I like the look and feel of metal watering cans, but they don't hold
enough water for me to be practical.
They make lovely vases....... G
