How to effectively mix watering solution (mixing it for all plants at once)

Right now I use only 1L (0.2 US GAl) measuring glass which I use for mixing water with fertilizer and then pouring it to the 'watering can'





Each time I am watering I have to mix it again and again all depending on how many plants do I need to water.

I'm getting tired of this.

I wanted to buy bigger measuring glass, but didnt find any big enough for my needs (like 15L / 3.96258 US gal).

Ordinary bucket of that size is not problem to buy, but it's missing that important "beak" for smooth pouring water somewhere else without spilling water everywhere.


Should I buy ordinary bucket and some water pump? Or is there any better solution?
Thanks for advice

Why not just fill the watering can with the 1lt jug thus finding out how much the watering can holds, and then mix it in the watering can?

You can find much larger measuring cups just about anywhere that sells kitchen supplies. Especially if you have some local place that specialized in restaurant supplies. Like 2 and 3 gallon measuring cups. A quick google search would have given you endless suppliers.
It sounds to me like you're being extremely OCD with it and making it a whole lot more complex than it needs to be.
Also go to the Dollar Store or Walmart. Find a mop bucket with a "dip" for holding the mop in place. Bam you got yourself some "smooth pouring"
I prefer a watering can with the shower nozzle type head so it waters wider and evenly on the surface. (You can gran 1.5 gallon ones for 3$ at DG)

My watering can is also only 1LT. As you can see I always had to mix it liter after liter. Very annoying Especially if your plants are in 11L pots and you have lot of them

this is really great advice! Thank you for this tip. It's ideal for my purpose and also cheap.
Problem solved


EDIT: I could also just buy much bigger watering can. But I like to mix nutes with water very well and that could be problematic doing it inside watering can.

So I need that mop bucket anyway.
