We used the cattle watering tank for smaller tubes. For larger tires used a slow running water hose. The spray bottle sounds like a good idea. Reminds me of a personal flat tire/hedge story. Several years ago I was clearing a field and fence line that was recently bought and it had a lot of hedge. Had a loader tractor which I was using very gingerly to consolidate the burning, larger accumulations. Had a lot of small piles scattered around and was loading them on a wagon to deliver to the burning pyres. A fellow engineer was with me and was watching the fire. Unfortunately I was off gathering a distant pile, when he got the great "idea" to use the tractor to push and run over several nearby piles rather than pick them up. Obiviously he didn't have any experience with osage orange trees. I viewed this operation from a distance and frantically tried to get back and stop him. Too late! Had 24 punctures in one front tire and 16 in the other. Only a couple in one rear tire. They were all new tires, therefore replaced the front tubes, patched the rear and spent a lot of time removing thorns.
