Pivoting Watering Wand Makes It Easy to Water Hanging Baskets

26 March 2009

Hanging baskets can be a great way to container garden when space is limited (if you don’t have a lot of room on your deck or balcony, you can plant twice as much by using the air above your head), but watering them can be a chore. If you’re not tall, you probably can’t peer up over the lip to see what you’re doing, and just sticking the garden hose over the top to gush water out isn’t the gentlest way to nourish your plants.

Instead you might try this pivoting watering wand.

The gardening gadget attaches to your hose to extend your reach by over 30 inches and moderate the flow of water into your hanging baskets. The trigger-grip handle lets you regulate pressure, and the head itself can be adjusted to different spray patterns (from “shower” to “soaker”).

The head of the wand pivots 180 degrees, so you can easily get at plants from any angle.
