Tree I-V 3-pk Fill & Haul Root Feeder | Plug & Lid for Remote Trees

I love seeing Family Owned American companies innovating at such a level. My company is a huge water saving company and we were delighted to find yet another water saving product that was so practical. These are well packaged, sturdy, well designed, and effective. I love the way they came already set up to "plug in". Thank you for taking the extra time to prep that step. I'm certain that your product will go far and I'd be very happy to chat with the owners at some point about taking this product to Africa.

Update: I had tremendous difficulty initially getting this to work, but it was a concept I wanted very much to succeed. After excellent back-and-forth responses and guidance from the seller I was able to get this product working in my soil and I'm very satisfied. The trick, for others that have difficulty getting the water to drain properly, is to "plunge" the spikes with a 5/8" wooden dowel when the buckets are full and sitting properly on the spikes. Very worthwhile product and excellent seller.Original Review: When the bucket of water is on the spike, the water doesn't drain out ... this seemed like such a great idea, and I have not idea why my experience is so bad, but I'm very sorry to have spent money on this product ...

Awesome product. I started out small because I thought was a bit pricey. I then bought several more. It was worth every penny. It made it so simple to water eleven new trees that are a couple hundred yards from my house. I had a quick question and had no problem getting hold of someone. I will definitely buy again.

It serves its purpose, but the stake gets filled with soil and you need to reposition it every now and again. It does help to deep water. I use it daily, but wouldn't buy again.

My order came with 3 buckets with all the necessary caps, plugs and spikes. The plugs allow you to hold water in the bucket if you choose to. I used the spike independent of the bucket to create holes. Washed the spike out, put the spike back in the hole, put the bucket over the spike, filled the bucket and the water flowed out slowly. Perfect for watering trees.

This is a nice solution for when the bags won’t work (like for evergreen trees with low branches). The lids are nice to prevent junk from getting in the bucket.

After Round #1 of planting Arborvitaes, then having them expire 6 months later, started Round #2 planting larger Arborvitaes and installing the root seeker on the three new trees & they are doing well (so far!).The description (of the product) could be better worded, however. Yes, you can fill the bucket with 5 gallons but the water doesn't last a week (as described), it drains nearly immediately. I called SayeGrow (the manufacturer) b/c, initially, I thought I had installed incorrectly but that is how it's intended to function.

they are a lot easier to fill and add liquid fertilizer than tree bags for new or old plantings
