Tree Watering Bags Slow Release，20 Gallon Tree Watering Ring for Small New Trees, Tree Bags for Watering 6 to 9 Hours, Coconut Fibers Tree Mulch Ring Included (2*Watering Ring +2* Mulch Mat)

Why did you pick this product vs others?:UV coating allowed me to use it for two seasons (currently in its second season). Water flow:Seemed to provide the tree exactly what it needed. A nice slow deep soak.

Good product, well made and durable. It even survived high winds in our area without moving when empty. I suggest folks to read the instructions about watering times. It is hours not days. tree should be watered a couple times a week...slowly. that is the purpose, I have seen other reviews who did not read the instructions or any literature about sapling care.

The bladders seem to be durable and easily fit around all but one of our trees. The one tree was larger than the others, perhaps 12in outside dianeter, but we are using it anyway even though the bladder does not wrap completely around the tree. We are experiencing a minor drought in the deep south and needed a solution that would provide water to some vulnerable younger trees, and so far it seems to help. I will say filling the bladders with a hose is somewhat awkward to hold up the bladder opening for the 8 to 10 minutes it takes to flow the 20ish gallons into the bladder. The outlets slowly release water from the bladder over about a 6 to 8 hr time period. It is better than just slowly running water at the base of the trees. Durability is unknown at this time as we have only had the bladders for a little over a week as of this writing. I did take one star off just for the awkwardness of how the bladders must be filled.

Footprint is too big so it kill too much grass. Also the water drains too quickly and has to be filled up daily, which kinda defeats the purpose.

Trust me: Emitters will invariably clog sooner than expected. Frustrating when it happens, since collar weighs over 160 pounds when full of water so unclogging requires lifting the collar and getting underneath. Difficult to empty of water when storing because fill port in a bad location to drain.Good concept, poor design = poor product.

These work as described. Very easy to fill and great for small trees.

Works great! Very durable . Is of good value.

These worked well for maybe 5-10 fillings and then stopped draining. I would not recommend this item.
