Vego gardenVego garden 16 Gallon Tree Watering Bag/Ring, Extremely Heavy Duty PVC Planting Water Bag for Tree and Shrubs, Basic Water Saving Slow Release Root Water System for Tree Drip Irrigation-1 Pack

This works great for my 4 trees that are 4 years old. Most of them ate on a slight slopre do water runs off . This comes out so slow that there is no runoff and offers the roots moisture for a good period of time .I plan to use this one by moving it tree to tree through hot and windy days .I know it can’t hurt , but I have seen it work and I am impressed!

Fits perfectly around our new red cedar tree and was so easy to set up.

Filled this last evening at 5:00 pm; by 8:00am today it was mostly empty. For me, that's the rate of watering I was hoping for, so I'm happy with that. This has only 3 "seep" holes; would prefer 5 or 6. Quality seems okay; I doubt it will last summer after summer. Years ago I had the Tree Gator brand of these donut / ring watering bag, which were excellent. But when I went to purchase them again, they no longer carry the ring style, only the upright bag style. My new trees have limbs close to the ground, so the upright bag style won't work, or I'd have paid extra for the Tree Gator brand. But so far, not unhappy with this Vego brand.

these DON'T work. They empty too fastThey are supposed to empty over 3 days. They empty in less than 3 hours.They also puncture easily. i wish that I could get my money back.

Probably empties in 10 hours. Perfect for what I needed. A little tricky to fill and I ended up splitting one by over pressurizing with a garden hose. The cap is a little hard to get used to but works fine once you do. Bought a second one to replace the one I broke.

Quality is good. Works good for little trees where the other taller bag-design doesn’t fit. However, it drains sooo slow, like 18 hours slow. So as it’s draining, the sun is cooking them. I stopped using them because they actually turned into mini heat packs, which doesn’t seem great for the ground and roots right around the trees. Also, they never fully drain. Each time they seemed to have 2-3 gallons left in the bag which would never drain.

I planted a young tree this spring and based on advice from the nursery I need to water it about 15 gallons per week, and this ring delivers 16! Perfect! The tree is on a small mound, and water has a tendency to shed/run off the clay soil. So I needed something that was slow delivery that could soak in. I read some negative reviews that said this is too slow, but I disagree. I set it up in mid afternoon. When I went to bed it was about 1/2 empty. In the morning it was flat. Perfect! Exactly how it's supposed to work. I also believe some reviews didn't understand how to set it up. I made sure the ground was level, added some mulch on top of the soil, placed the ring on top of the mulch. Easy! I am very happy with this purchase. As to concerns it gets too hot, I haven't noticed that, but keeping eye on it. If it becomes an issue I can put a thin cover over it to mitigate the heat; it seems thick enough even if outer part is warm, not sure it transfers through to make the water hot. Anyway, over all I am glad I purchased this watering ring!

easy to use and instal!
