I've gone back to using a small bucket dipped from the rain barrel. I won't lay out one more cent for wands that don't work. For seedling trays I use an inexpensive plastic watering can that fills on one upper side. I just lay it over in the rain barrel and it's almost instantly full. No waiting around for the hose to fill it each time. Not good for overhead watering, but works fine at ground level. Easy to clean out if the holes get plugged, and the hose no longer smashes my plants. During dry spells I still use the rain barrel...I just fill it with the hose. Very rarely do I need to drag heavy hoses that kink through the gardens...
