About this product
Full description
The properly considered accessory for anyone using The Natural Grower's 10 Litre Jerry Cans of liquid organic feed — a durable dispensing pump that screws onto the jerry can and lets you pump measured doses directly into your watering can. No more pouring from a 10kg container, no more spills down the side, no more wasted feed. Properly the small upgrade that makes weekly feeding genuinely easy.
At £7.50, properly affordable for an accessory that lasts through every jerry can refill you'll buy from now on.
What it does
The pump fits the standard cap thread on Natural Grower's 10L jerry cans. Once fitted, each press of the pump dispenses a measured 25ml dose — so:
- 5L watering can — 4 pumps (= 100ml feed in 5L water)
- 10L watering can — 8 pumps (= 200ml feed in 10L water)
- 2L watering can — 2 pumps (rounded to 50ml in 2L water)
- 1L spray bottle for foliar feed — 1 pump (= 25ml in 1L water)
Properly the right precision for accurate dosing. Most liquid feeds want a specific dilution rate — with the pump you get that consistently every time, without having to measure into a separate jug or guess from the bottle.
Why use a pump rather than pour
The 10L jerry can is properly substantial when full — 10 kilograms of liquid sloshing around. Pouring accurately from that into a watering can is harder than it sounds: the can is heavy, the cap is narrow, the watering can sits low, and the liquid feed wants to surge out in one large slug rather than a controlled stream. Most of us end up with feed on the patio, on our hands, on the watering can sides, and a poorly-measured dose in the can.
The pump solves all of that. The jerry can stays upright on the ground. You hold the pump handle at the top, position the spout over your watering can, and press the measured dose straight in. No lifting, no pouring, no spilling, no guessing.
Properly reusable
The pump is designed to be reused across every jerry can you buy from now on. When your current jerry can is empty:
- Unscrew the pump from the empty can
- Rinse briefly in clean water (prevents residue buildup)
- Screw onto the new jerry can when it arrives
- Recycle the empty can per Natural Grower's guidance
Properly the small accessory that pays for itself across the second or third refill. Single-purchase tool, multi-year value.
About The Natural Grower
The Natural Grower is a UK organic fertiliser brand specialising in plant-based liquid feeds — properly the right philosophy for cottage gardeners, organic growers and anyone trying to avoid synthetic chemicals in the garden. Their 10L jerry cans of organic liquid feed are properly the household-scale option for gardens that need more than a small bottle but don't want commercial volumes.
Where it fits in our range
The dispensing pump pairs naturally with:
- The Natural Grower 10L Liquid Feed Jerry Can — the parent product this pump fits
- Watering cans — particularly the Sophie Conran Indoor Watering Can for measured indoor feeding, or any standard 5L outdoor watering can for borders and vegetables
- Bishy vegetable seeds — serious vegetable production benefits from regular liquid feeding through the growing season
- Bishy flower seeds — heavy-feeders like dahlias, sweet peas, and roses respond well to fortnightly liquid feed
- Garland propagators and trays — for seedlings benefiting from gentle dilute feeding
- Ladybird Plant Care Slow Release Pearls — the slow-release nutrition counterpart for pots
Together with the 10L jerry can itself, the pump completes a properly considered weekly feeding routine for the cottage garden.

A small thought: a properly considered accessory like this is one of those small purchases that quietly improves a job you do anyway, week after week, through the whole growing season. The kind of thing you wonder why you didn't get sooner. Properly the difference between treating liquid feeding as a chore and treating it as a quiet weekly habit.
