I have at least 3 uses ....
the first - as an "over-head" watering system for over 70 potted plants, in a small 10' x 25' area ....using either a sprinkler head or an older figure 8
the second - for watering the area around a specimen plant - shrub or tree.......using either a figure 8 or nozzle head set on coarse water droplets
the third - for watering beds
