I think it’s safe to say we all do laundry and many of us have those big plastic laundry soap containers. Besides taking up to much space in the trash or recycle bin try out this cool trick. Instead of throwing them away, rinse them out thoroughly. Yes this will take a few minutes. It’s amazing how concentrated the detergent is. I think about that as I am adding detergent to the wash. My suspicion is you could get 84 loads instead of the 64 they claim. Less is more… sorry I degressed. Anyway, once it’s cleaned out drill a hole aprox 1/8″ in the top of the cap. Then you’ll need a relief hole for the water pressure. So make an additional hole just above the handle. This will allow water to flow freely. If I were Martha Stewart I would suggest getting some lovely wallpaper to adhere to the sides of the container in an effort to beautify your new watering can. Since I am not Martha, I will not suggest that one!
