Anyone know where I can get a galvanised Hawes-type watering can, like
Monty Don's on GW? -- Chris E-mail: christopher[dot]hogg[at]virgin[dot]net |

Or haven't you got that far;-))) http://www.haws.co.uk/ Drop them an email and they'll send you the catalogue. Or ask them for nearest stockist to you. I get mine from local nursery.. They are very good, very reasonably priced (unless you getthem from garden centres), excellently designed, well balanced (esp the long handled ones) and I have nothing bad to say about them;-) Quite a few of their designs come in plain gal. metal, paint coated, or plastic. // Jim |

I've had a plastic Haws can for over 20 years now, better than the Gal. ones

UV causes it, dark green are more resistant than bright yellow but easier to lose. ;-) But they're much cheaper than the gal ones, so I persevere with my untidy ways. |

What I like is the 'half size' ones with the end 'downspout' great for getting the water where you want it.. Esp good for houseplants as you don't water the floor so easily;-) And they do spares as well;-) // Jim |
