Water & Feed Watering Can

by Charlie Nardozzi


Some of the most popular fertilizing systems for flowers and vegetables involve applying fertilizer as you water. Although effective, it's sometimes hard to remember to add the fertilizer to the watering can, and it can be cumbersome to add more fertilizer every time you refill the can.

A new watering can system has the fertilizer built right into the watering can for easy access. The AquaVor Pro watering can is the result of more than 20 years of professional landscape and commercial growing experience. It's easy to use. Snap the bottle onto the specially designed 3-gallon watering can, and apply 2 pumps of AquaVor Pro plant food for each gallon of water. Use this method for any of the 4 AquaVor Pro fertilizer types to feed seedlings, vegetables, flowers, roses, and houseplants. The heavy-duty plastic watering can with one bottle of all-purpose plant food costs $50. For more information, check out their Web site at www.aquavorpro.com.
