Hedgehog Thumb Waterer

Comments about Hedgehog Thumb Waterer:

Great way to distribute water from crocks placed in garden. And it is cute too. I wish it a bit larger but realize it would be too heavy if it were. Nice addition to rain barrel and crocks to limit city water use in my gardens.

I purchased 2 of these cute little guys to water plants on the patio. I have several young grandchildren who are always wanting to help and like to play in the water on hot days. They are haveing a blast with the hedgehog.

Gave as a gift to daughter-in-law, Hedgehog breeder, CPA who hasn't had time to try it out.

Comments about Hedgehog Thumb Waterer:

I use it to get the kids interested in the garden. They love to water the plants now!
(I may need to get a few more.)

Can it be made of something that's not so breakable?

Comments about Hedgehog Thumb Waterer:

The hedgehog is a time tested design. The basic concept has been around for centuries and Garden Supply's Hedgehog shape makes it cute. Great for small watering jobs anywhere - inside or out. Easy to use and effective.

I use this to water many or my indoor plants and absolutely love it!

Comments about Hedgehog Thumb Waterer:

Good for watering small areas with delicate plants. When not in use it looks "cute" setting as an ornament in or near the garden or area of use.
When some one sees it for the first time they ask what it it and how it works , they usually end up trying it,especially the youngsters.

I bought this on a whim: partly because I like hedgehogs, and partly because I'd just watched the Cosmos episode where Carl Sagan demonstrates the use of the "water thief", and I wanted to try it. The thumb waterer is useful in the vegetable garden, but too drippy for indoor use. One does need a deepish bucket of water in which to fill it. Still, for a whim, I'm happy with the item.

This thing is cute, but it dribbles because even if you have good seal with your thumb, the thing is a little porous and moving it at all allows air in the bottom. Plus you have to have a water vessel that is deep enough to submerge the hedgehog in to fill it several times, so you're still going to be carrying a couple of gallons around while you're watering. This is good for smaller pots on the patio where a large volume isn't necessary and water dribbles won't do any damage.
