Hi Carol, yes, one sprinkler per barrel. These (I think they might be called mushroom sprinklers?) are adjustable so you can wind them tighter for a smaller spray or looser for a wider spray – up to a point and depending on water pressure. If I get them in straight, they do water the barrel well. But some went in on an angle and that doesn’t work – half the barrel stays dry.

How wide is the spray…..? I guess that even if it doesn’t spray the entire barrel, it will seep into the soil below for the roots to drink from. I am on the hunt for some barrels now 🙂
