Dragonfly Rain Gauge Outdoor With 7 Inch Glass Tube
A 7 inch glass tube held in a metal frame with a cast iron dragonfly on one side and an open scroll on the other, so the thing measuring the rain is also worth looking at in a planted bed. The frame is heavy enough to hold its shape through a season outdoors instead of bending in the first storm. Two garden stakes come with it, so it stands out where the rain actually falls rather than tucked under an eave where it reads low every time. What it really settles is whether the sprinkler needs to run at all this week.

Why we picked it
Most watering is done on a schedule rather than on what the sky actually did, which is how a bed gets soaked on a Tuesday after rain on Monday. A gauge is the cheapest way to stop guessing. This one is worth having in a bed rather than hidden behind the shed, because the copper frame and the dragonfly make it read as garden decor for the six days a week nobody is checking it.
