Long Handled Watering Can to help elderly father???

[Glyn1959]

Hi, does anyone know where I can get such a thing to avoid my father bending to pick up a full watering can? (the alternative would be to raise the height of the outside tap and build a stand to sit the can on when filling) However, a long handled watering can would be the far easier option!
Looked on google but with no luck.
Help appreciated
Thanks

How about a retractable hosepipe, much easier, no weight to carry or lift.

How would you tip it?

Need to mix powdered plant food so ned container and plants are at ground level so simply tipping the can wouls be all that was required

Thanks for the responses tho

Haven't seen a long handle watering can, can't you take an existing one to your local fabrication merchant and ask to weld an extra peice on.

I think the stand is the best idea. I know someone who puts the can on a small wall next to the tap. it is also convenient for stirring in chemicals.

a short hose on the tap is handy to fill the can, but needs a non-return valve

If your farther has a hosepipe I can recommend a garden feeder by Superspray. www.superspray.co.uk You can clip it to the hosepipe and it will dilute any liquid feed, detergent for car washing or window washing and its dilution is accurate. It will also spray clean water at the turn of a button. weighs about 600gms when full. Vey useful tool. Cheap - about £10
