Choose one with an adjustable nozzle to give you
control on the water pressure and the spray radius
that you use.
WHEELBARROW
Wheelbarrows help move heavy loads like rocks, soil
and compost.
WATERING WAND
You can give your plants a gentle shower by using a
water-breaking wand. The watering wand’s extended
reach helps you reach out of the way of containers,
hanging plants and the back edges of the borders.
WATERING CAN
You have two choices for a watering can; plastic
or metal. Consider these:
◆ ◆ Plastic cans are lighter but aren’t as durable and
won’t last as long
◆ ◆ Metal watering cans should be galvanized to
prevent rusting
◆ ◆ Take the size of the can into consideration; a
larger can holds more water is harder to lift
◆ ◆ The handle must allow you to carry the can
when it is full
◆ ◆ Two-handled watering can is more stable
A traditional wheelbarrow with dual-handles and a
single wheel is harder to balance with a heavy or
uneven load
A single handle wheelbarrow with two wheels is eas-
ier to balance and is better for people with limited
strength and can be pushed or pulled with one hand
Make sure to store your wheelbarrow in a clean and
dry area to avoid rust and make sure the wheels are
properly inflated before using it. GG
