I was watering our recently planted arborvitaes and white pines daily, but since they were planted on an incline they were not retaining enough water. I thought we were going to lose them, but these bags helped save all the trees.

Using these is a great way to water trees. They are much better than using a soaker hose. Soaker hoses put out too much water resulting in most of it running off. They are great for new plantings.

I disliked nothing about this product. It fit easily around my young tree and a newly planted hollyhock. These watering rings added needed moisture to these plantings, especially during the absence of rain. They are very easy to fill, and they blend into the landscape aesthetically. Much better than the green water bags.

I bought these in April 2024 and I've used them for four months to water some newly planted Arborvitae trees. I had some valves (that release the water) get blocked on one ring and had to throw it out. The rings do fade in the sun. But, they have not ripped and they are easy to fill with a hose, which I do when they are around the tree. The only issue I have had is that very often they do not empty all the way. On the positive side, they have kept my trees watered and healthy this summer.

Put around a newly planted tree. Worked great for a couple of weeks. Then it was not releasing water. My husband had to use an air compressor to clear out the tubes. Don’t know if it was dirt or ants?? Didn’t really work for me.

Product arrived quickly and in good condition. I was hoping that the water would last a couple days but it slowly releases in about 9-11 hours. I covered over one of the water valves to extend the distribution of water. So, may last for a day. It is a good way to get slow release of 14 ish gallons into the soil though.

These bags do exactly what I needed to have done--water new trees. They empty in about 8 hours, but that is ok with me. They are sturdy, and should last several years.

Updated June '20 - the new design has a larger hole, presumably for the people who complained they couldn't fill it (I never had this problem). The downside is that now you have to stand there with the hose, holding the end of the ring up in the air while it fills. It's heavy, and you can't get it to fill as well.But the bigger issue is the poor quality. The inlet plug on some doesn't seal so water leaks out, and after a few months - once a week, and keeping them in the garage out of the sun when not in use - they are one by one splitting at the center seam. Will not repurchase.***I use these in the summer once a week on my Japanese maples to keep them happy in the heat. The first two I purchased in 2019 both burst in the center at the start of their third summer. Of a second pair I bought, one of them doesn't seal completely at the inlet cap - unfortunately I didn't find out until it was too late to return it. All that said, for the price these do a good job - a standard hose just fits in the inlet, making it easy to fill. They drain over about 6-8 hours. If the tree is on a mound the emitters drain the bag nearly completely. If the tree is on a slope, you need to make sure one of the emitters is at the lowest point or the bag won't fully drain (makes sense). I think these are a good deal for the price and am about to order another pair.
