oldtimer1 Posted April 17, 2005 Share Posted April 17, 2005 Q its a design thing, would that I could afford a metal haws can. This can is plastic, holds 5 litres, perfect for indoor use, good balance, but can reach in 3 rows of 6.5 litre pots. I’ve had it for years, the rose on it cost nearly as much as the can, the spray is very fine, so oxygenates the water well and wets evenly. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arnold Layne Posted April 17, 2005 Share Posted April 17, 2005 Hang onto that rose OT - the ones that come with the can nowadays are quite shoddy TBH. Yours looks way superior! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oldtimer1 Posted April 17, 2005 Author Share Posted April 17, 2005 I bought it separately Arnie, they still make all the old rose patterns going back to designs from the eighteen hundreds, I agree the roses that come with the plastic cans are rubbish.

Bish Posted April 22, 2005 Share Posted April 22, 2005 I bought a separate brass rose too - cost more than the can, but better than the plastic/brass rose you buy with the can Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's bloody daft! 349056[/snapback] Just got back from the local garden centre picked up a Haws long reach 5l it comes with a rose but not the one i wanted, i checked out the 6.8l version Haws and would you believe it in the bottom was the remains of a joint . The other roses they stock dont even fit the Haws cans Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

S Monkey Posted January 14, 2008 Share Posted January 14, 2008 Got myself a 0.7L Haws can a couple of months back, and it's great. I didn't find out about the benefits of rose spraying for years! Unfortunately I stood on the sprayhead and it doesn't spray as well now and it now drips. grrr. back to the garden centre soon to look for a sprayhead.
