Have not yet put these to use, as snow is now on the ground. But, I am looking forward to using the spouts for keeping planters in hot, sunny places watered consistently.

Gives me peace of mind that even if I forget, or are to busy to water my plants are being taken care of

These are ideal for deep watering in areas where a sprinkler does not reach. They can boost the growth of new plants in hedgerows, getting to privacy years earlier. And they adapt to different soils, releasing water slowly in clay and fast in loam. Well done! Glad they come in a pack of six.

With our hot, dry summers, watering is always a challenge. I'm constantly looking for shortcuts. Aqua Cones with 2L bottles are great for my large deck pots. They are also handy for bed plants that need a little extra water.

Aquacones are my garden mainstay. They seem to last forever and I have yet to lose either a newly added or a newly divided plant or bush when I have used them. I teach new gardeners on a regular basis. The rule of thumb in watering is to use a container or bucket to slowly apply about two gallons directly to the base of the plant. And then to fill up the bottle on the aquacone. If this is done once a week, the plant gets the 1-2 inches of water it needs. If the cone drains empty, it is easy to top it up. For roses and azaleas I use multiple bottles. I usually put in around 300 or more new plants a year scattered around our 4 acres. My nursery suppliers are often amazed that even when we have a drought, my gardens continue to flourish.

If I could only recommend one product besides a good shovel, this would be the one.

These are wonderful. I use them in my gardens both for plants and vegies. They get the water and fertilizer right to the roots where it is needed. I just but in new bushes and I have one or two for each bush. They have made it through the hot summer with no trouble. I have had my water cones for years.

I expected these to screw on, but they slip on to the bottles. Seem to leak water out of the top and empty fast, not slow like it says.

This is the perfect product to water a couple of plants that are away from the hose area, or in an area where only a couple of plants need pampering. Excellent for newly planted small bushes, veggies, herbs that are not drought tolerant. Good for areas where you don't want to drag a hose! Can add water soluble fertilizer to water for feed and water.

I use about 75 or more of these every summer. All but my bottom feeding planters get one of these. Easy to water every container even if u can not find the dirt. The bottles dissapear in the rock garden once the plants fill out so I mark where the bottle is with a garden decorative stake. Easy for others to water when I am away. The greenhouse standing beds have 7 in each spaced about 7 inches apart from the other using 2 liter bottles. Small bottles for the hanging baskets etc.
