Watering bonsai what do you use?

I have been beating the drum for Dramm Red Head nozzles for years. I even have said I would never be without one. Well when we left the house, the Red Head was accidentally thrown away. Now I only have about 8 trees so I had just been dribbling it on with the hose. I ordered another Red Head and fell in love all over again! Best thing ever!

Which model exactly? The "11000 Water Breaker” that's just a fine rose? Or one of the red multi-selectable attachments? Found a handful of options on Amazon...
 
I used to use a water hose @defra made, but now where I've moved there's no ouside tap so now I'm using the coffee pot lol.

I wish there's still an outside tap, cuz that hose Dennis made is the best thing I've ever used. For real! If you ever get the chance of buying one of those, do not hesitate.

Pereferably by hand, but when I can't...

I'm doing a similar thing, to All my existing archaic sprinklers in my planter areas in the backyard (just waiting on 16 more nozzles in the mail) ... I am extending/raising all of them 10-12" higher so they can spray into all my nursery pots, and also replacing all the 25-30yo nozzles with new fresh ones, all dual-orifice Rain Bird U-series (for its' secondary closer spray orifice).

Extending/raising 30 sprinklers total in the backyard. Not many to extend in the front-yard (no more than 10 or so), since all my developing nursery-pot trees are in the back.

I've been using municipal (chlorinated) soft water for some time now with no ill effects to me or my trees. I do have a well water source which I could use that is much more acidic, but I've never found the time to resurrect the old well pump in the basement and plumb it to an outside spigot. It is on my long list of things to do.

About 30 so it was a shit job lol. I have got my old trusty ikea watering can here now tho, so it goes a lot better. Still no hose unfortunately :(
I wish I still could use that hose you made mate, it's the absolute best and I miss it to bits!
