Watering bonsai what do you use?

[defra]

Hi there, i was wondering what do you all use to water your trees

Id like to know for inspiration im building my own lance with soraying head Heres what i came up with :



Pic 1: the lance with valve made from copper and brass



Pic 2: the head its to big so theres to little pressure gotta get smaller ones this is 7 cm in diameters going to get 3 cm wich will be better!



Pic 3: misting nozzle wich fits the lance ajustable to rain function wich makes watering trees works fine another twist at the head and you have a water beam to clean bark with and blast mites and other bugs out

Hose and lawn spinkler with automatic timer. If I want to water by hand, I use a 3 foot wand from Home Depot or Lowes

Collected rainwater and a 9 gallon rechargeable rolling spot sprayer. Puts out an adjustable spray, so the soil doesn't get disturbed, I can put liquid fert right into the tank...

I had a cheap watering wand, my kids broke it. I had a haws watering can, the holes constantly clogged up. For now I use my cheapo run of the mill plastic watering can from home depot. Works wonderful.

I have "got to get me one of those"!

I use the Japanese copper watering can partially pictured in this photo. Works extremely well and is adequate for the number of trees I currently have (so far). Paid about $230 for it but I anticipate it will last a lifetime if it does not become so badly dinged up in the long term that it cannot properly funnel water to the spout. I do see having to replace the mostly copper fine rose detachable nozzle at some point, but that hopefully will not be more than $30-$40 when it finally corrodes badly enough.

Lastly, this watering can holds four liters of water.

That's nice work defra. Very nice work. It should last a couple of lifetimes. unlike the crap you buy off the shelf. You should think about marketing them. Are those fittings on the ends of the copper pipe pressed or soldered?

 

[Shima]

10K gallons off the roof.

I'm on a well, so I use the garden hose and the Masakuni spray nozzle.

 

[miker]

When I was in Orlando, I used the Masakuni spray nozzle that attaches onto a regular garden hose and I strongly recommend this as well. You get what you pay for, and I think I paid like $28-$35, not too bad.

They are pressed
I am able to solder them but this looks beter imo

Thats the reason i am building this one i broke three of the shelf wands last year
If people in the netherlands are interested i am making a couple and they will be for sale

Thnx for letting me know all
That masakuni wand looks great didnt know that one

[sorce]

They are pressed

Lotta bloody cockroaches!

..............

Anyway.....

I have been using water bottles....

The V8 juice bottles are the longest lasting....
Going on 3 years with one....and it still is perfectly intact....spent winter outside too!

However....

Using only low (pressure) rain barrels...
I want to run a hose over to my benches with a foot controlled kick spigot, and use a long neck watering can, so I don't have to bend over!

Thinking Haws, or Japanese copper.....

Looking for thoughts....

I need one that I can safely hold from the neck to fill up.

P.s. your rig is dope!

 

[sorce]

Oh these.....

Best ever!
