With Treegator Tree Savers, Watering is In the Bag

You simply wrap the Treegator Tree Saver unit around the trunk, zip the two sides together and fill with water. Over a period of 5 to 9 hours, it slowly releases water for deep soil penetration.

For the healthy trees you want decorating your lawn and shading your home, it is essential you master a skill few understand: watering. How often, how long and how much? Or, you can save yourself time, energy and doubt by relying on automatic watering systems — like Treegator Tree Saver Bags — that eliminate the guesswork and ensure your trees get watered right every time.

When you’re under watering your trees, older leaves tend to turn yellow or brown. They may curl and drop off the branches too. And of course, the soil will be dry.

When you’re over watering your trees, young leaves may turn a light green or yellow. Even leaves that are a bright “healthy” green may be brittle, and brand new shoots may be wilted. As for the soil, it may feel damp to the touch most of the time.

What trees need is just the right amount of water to saturate the root zone – no more, no less. As for frequency, that depends on the season. During the summer months, for example, a tree may need as much as three to five times more water than during the wintertime.

As you are probably well aware, there are numerous automatic watering systems on the market, such as drip systems, bubblers and sprinklers. Unfortantely, these can be hit or miss, literally. They rarely provide a consistent saturation of the root zone area.

For all these reasons, CompostMania is thrilled to have found Treegator Tree Saver Bags. You simply wrap the unit around the trunk, zip the two sides together and fill with water. Over a period of 5 to 9 hours, the Treegator slowly releases water for deep soil penetration.

In addition to enhancing deep root growth, the Treegator helps protect trees from drought and reduces stress on new plantings. Plus, you can use the Treegator on shrubs and vines too.
