Aqua Cones™
Aqua Cones™ Water at the Roots to Keep Plants Healthier
Turn your old soda bottles into a super-easy, inexpensive irrigation system. Our patented Aqua Cones fit 1-liter bottles for light watering or 2-liter bottles to deeply water thirsty plants. Aqua Cones save time over conventional watering, and because they target each plant's root zone, you won't waste water on neighboring weeds. Leaves stay dry, which helps reduce blight and other diseases.
- Waters the root zone, not the weeds!
- Leaves stay dry, reducing blight
- Works in any soil type, releasing water over 1-1/2 to 4 hours
- Two colors to choose from: green cones blend into your garden; red cones are more easily found
- Each spike holds a standard 1- or 2-liter plastic bottle, not included

Comments about Aqua Cones™:
I still don't understand why sometimes it's working and sometimes it's clogged.
Why do half of them suddenly decide to stop working? It is beyond my comprehension at this point.
Someone please show me how to troubleshoot these things!

Comments about Aqua Cones™:
Simply cut off the bottom of a 2 liter jug and you are in business. Each week on my day off, I fill each 2 liter with water. Plants produce outstanding quanity. Healthy plants. Reduced disease to plants, as no splash up from hose watering. Just purchased 3 more bags this year. I wouldn't garden without them!

Comments about Aqua Cones™:
I use them to make my life easier when watering my tall plants, like dahlias and hollyhocks. It's so easy to attach the cones to the bottles, fill them up, and be assured that the plant is actually getting enough water. And you have the bonus of reusing a plastic bottle instead of sending it to the landfill!

Comments about Aqua Cones™:
These work great at getting the water to the plant's roots but they often got clogged with leaves and bugs so they wouldn't drain after awhile. I now slip knee hi hose over the 2 liter bottle and pour my water through the hose into the bottle. It makes all the difference and I can use the cones all growning season without having to clean them out constantly!

Comments about Aqua Cones™:
These aqua cones are excellent for large potted plants that get root-bound and require a lot of water. The water goes into the soil rather than running off the top of the pot.

Comments about Aqua Cones™:
I use as recommended in the garden for applying fertilizer and water in dry weather. Experiment with different hole sizes depending on your soil type. My wife doesn't like the bottles in her flower beds so I placed the cones where I wanted them without the bottles, then put a 1" PVC pipe cap over them to keep them clean. I got two rigid 1 gallon plastic bottles from the water store and adapted them to a 3/4" PVC pipe (short piece) which fits perfectly in a cone. By cutting this cone off after the second ring (above "clay") it fits well in the cone in the ground and feeds water/fertilizer as it is absorbed. When I'm through watering, I put the bottles away much to my wife's delight.

applied by putting on top of a plastic bottle instead of having a screw cap, as a result it leaks from the top where put on top of bottle opening

Comments about Aqua Cones™:
Most of my garden is on drip, but for those plants that are not, these are very helpful getting water to the roots. They also help my boyfriend know what plants to water if I am away for a day or two and not able to take care of the garden myself.

I was away for a week. My pot was bone dry but there was still water in the cone. I don't know if I was doing something wrong. I will try again next year.
