Three lifetime quality galvanized watering cans of 3 different designs reviewed.

The french can I can't find a source for, but there are a lot of vintage ones on ebay that look similar.

Peasandcorn.com is the American distributor of Haws watering cans and a good place to buy them wholesale if you have a resale license. Shop around, but Amazon is the cheapest price I've found on the haws. Some colors are cheaper on Amazon. They are the same can. It's just that some are painted over the galvanized metal. Even at the best prices, they are still very expensive and probably only for lifetime gardeners. Someone else may very well be using it after you though.

HAWS WENT OUT OF BUSINESS :( If you can find a good used haws can, I suggest you buy it.

We look at three watering cans, one french, one American and one English. All three are of very high quality construction. The American can is a very poor design, improved somewhat by adding a haws rose. It is a watering can, but seems more like it evolve from a bucket. The French can is quite nice with a longer reach and much better ergonomics. The rose is large and has decently small holes. I use it fairly often. The English Haws watering can is the best of the three. It has a very long spout and a very fine spray. That is important since watering the soil can damage seedlings and compact the soil surface forming a troublesome crust. Haws watering cans are expensive, but may very well last the lifetime of the user even if left out and full of water year round.
