Rather than sandpaper, I used my dremel tool with a abrasive buffing wheel. After 5 minutes, it works like new!

Good idea, will be giving my old galvanised lovelies a clean very soon 😀

[@stepladder13]

Really interesting, thank you. I found your video because I've got a metal can just like yours and the rose is stuck and I can't get it off to clean it as it seems to be blocked. I don't know if its rust or limescale or someting else causing the problem. Any tips on what to do? I don't want to have to buy a whole new watering can!

Listen to our latest podcast where I answer your question. Hope it comes off. Martin

Can you share where you purchased your sage colour tool carrier that is on the floor in this video.

[@PotsTrowels]

Hi Hope, it’s one we made ourselves a few years ago. We couldn’t find one the right size so made it to measure!

How do you clean inside area of roses if using compost tea?

[@PotsTrowels]

Not easy as the holes will get blocked. Either strain the tea first to remove particles or use a coarse rose.
