Best Way to Water Seedlings

Take a 1/16" drill and a milk jug cap. Drill several holes.

I may have to do that. I would like to have one with a little spout, but I guess I can't be too particular.

You could try drilling several small holes in the cap. Have you tried the rose from a regular watering can? I suppose you wouldn't be using a milkjug if you had a watering can though...:/

oh, oops, I didn't see the rest of the posts! Looks like I'm almost as smart as Ridge!

I finally broke down and bought a "poison" sprayer from Harbor Freight. You can set it on a light mist and it is very easy to use. Obviously, I put water in it and not chemicals...

Does anyone know where I could get a screw-on sprinkler head for a milk jug? If they don't make one, they should.

May be an okay outfit.

Problem with having an extra rose around is that they are the first things to break on the sprinkler cans.

I've been trying to come up with a homemade version of what Steve showed and came up blank. I have made a shaker for powder (BT by the way) by taking a plastic peanut butter jar and drilling 1/16" holes in the plastic lid. I shy away from glass because I'm clumsy and drop things.

Blue sky! Time to widen the lead.

You are like a hot knife through butter! Look at you go!

Ha, reminds of the homemade supersoakers I used to make for the kids, only one hole. I used 24oz soda bottles, about a 1/4" hole. Squeeze and it can shoot about 15 feet! I made the hole with a pocket knife, but caution, this could go horribly wrong.
I guess you could use them for watering plants too, you can really control where the water goes and avoid getting the foliage wet.
