    These tops I bought at the Kent show are so good at 50p.

    They are like a tiny watering can rose and have small, medium, large and single holes in them. I bought one of each, they're great for watering the greenhouse and house plants.

    I have no vested interest in them I just like them.

    Those do look really useful. Have they a makers' name?
    I used to like that Frenetic R.Whites advert :D

    Saw them for sale at gardeners world live and they are a really good idea aren't they. I've never used one before, but I might just treat myself.

    You can buy them from Harrods Horticultural too.

    The only thing is with small roses on watering cans is that they easily get blocked up and come fast out of some areas and slow out of others.

    Looks a great idea, would be interested if they work.

    Martin bought me a fantastic old copper rose from the tip which goes onto my hose pipe - just an amazing flow.

    I like them for seed trays, where I use tap water as advised here, but it's true that water from the butts clogs them up. I'm always losing them so like to have a variety at hand!
