揥ater can?is one of the commonest garden accessories, you can find in every British house, but very few of us aware of its origin. The term 揥atering can?first appeared in 1692. Previously, it was known as 揥atering pot? After almost two centuries, in 1885 John Haws of Clapton, London obtained a patent for an improved watering pot. Since then this new improved watering can design has been known as Haws Watering Can. Here follows some texts from the patent document:

揟his new invention forms a watering pot that is much easier to carry and tip, and at the same time being much cleaner, and more adapted for use than any other put before the public.?br />
The official website for Haws Watering Can (haws.co.uk) informs that this improved design of watering can is a perfect balance and can be used without much strain, whether it抯 full or half full. Even today after another two centuries, the original design prevails with minor modifications. Immediately after Haws Watering Can抯 launch, it became a must have garden accessory for every gardener throughout London and other counties. If you are a serious gardener, surely you would love to get one such Haws Watering Can for your garden.

I hope your garden will be in full bloom this summer with a traditional metal Haws Watering Can. Haws Watering Cans are also available in various colours and designs. You can choose one that matches your personality and favourite colour. Haws Watering Cans come in four basic designs:

?Limcan Watering Can,
?Heritage Watering Can,
?Indoor Watering Can, and
?Longreach Watering Can

Though it appears pretty easy to buy one watering can for your gardening activities, yet you should consider some of the important elements before purchase. After several discussions with various gardeners in our region, I have discovered five common questions which need to be addressed. These are following here:

1. Do You Need a Watering Can for Indoor or Outdoor Gardening?
2. Want to use the watering can for Gardening or something else?
3. Which one would you prefer: a lightweight or heavier watering can?
4. Do you prefer a metal or plastic watering can?
5. What is your budget limit?

Features those have made Haws watering can popular can抰 be omitted from this article. I抳e mentioned below some of these well known features, selectively.

Best Balance

Balance is one of the significant features of a watering can. Gardeners use different sizes of watering can. A potentially smaller watering can won抰 be a problem while use, but a bigger watering can may be a problem for the gardener. Handling problems during watering is an obvious fact for a big watering can as one has to lift, bend and fill it several times. Thus, structurally defective design watering can may be dangerous for garden as it may injure him/her. In this aspect, Haws Watering Can is a great option. It is easy to use irrespective of its size.

Farther Reach

For indoor gardening, it抯 really difficult to reach out each and every plant while watering and you can抰 ignore them either. Haws watering can抯 long reach spout not only allows one to watering deep into plant beds, but is a crucial counter balance also so that you won抰 damage any plant while watering.
No-Spill Neck

Badly designed watering cans may waste water while watering. But Haws watering can won抰 let you waste a single drop of water as its tall collard neck prevents water spilling over.
Non-Corrosive Brass Rose

Solid brass 搑ose?(i.e. head pointed up of a watering can allowing fine lofty spray) is one of the major advantages of Haws Watering can. This helps a gardener spraying water properly with a little lift.
